Aim : To study Exception Handling

Theory:

Exception handling in C++ is a critical aspect of programming that enables


developers to manage runtime errors and unexpected conditions effectively. It
provides a structured mechanism for responding to exceptional situations, allowing
programs to continue execution or terminate gracefully without crashing.

1. Core Concepts
At the heart of C++ exception handling are three key components: try, catch, and
throw.

● try: A block of code that may produce an exception is enclosed within a try
block. When an error occurs, the normal flow of execution is interrupted.
● catch: This block follows a try block and defines how to respond to a
particular type of exception. If an exception is thrown in the try block, control is
transferred to the appropriate catch block.
● throw: This keyword is used to signal that an exception has occurred. It can
throw various types, including built-in data types and user-defined objects.

2. Mechanism of Exception Handling

When an exception is thrown, the runtime system searches for a corresponding


catch block that can handle that specific exception type. If such a block is found, its
code is executed; if not, the program will terminate, possibly after unwinding the
stack. This behavior ensures that resources can be cleaned up properly, maintaining
program stability.

3. Multiple Catch Blocks

C++ supports the use of multiple catch blocks, enabling different responses based
on the type of exception thrown. This allows for precise handling of various error
conditions.

4. Catch-All Handler

A catch-all handler can be implemented using an ellipsis (...). This special catch
block can capture any exception not matched by preceding catch blocks, providing a
fallback mechanism for unhandled exceptions.

5. Re-throwing Exceptions

Within a catch block, exceptions can be re-thrown using the throw; statement. This
feature allows for additional error handling, such as logging or cleanup, before the
exception is passed up the call stack for further handling.

6. Standard Exception Classes

The C++ Standard Library includes a hierarchy of predefined exception classes,


primarily found in the <stdexcept> header. Key classes include std::exception,
std::runtime_error, std::logic_error, and std::out_of_range. These classes facilitate
robust error handling by providing standardized ways to represent various error
conditions.
