Exception Types in
C++ Programming
WHAT ARE EXCEPTIONS?
Exceptions are unexpected events that occur
during program execution, disrupting the
normal flow. In C++, they are represented by
objects, allowing developers to handle errors
gracefully. Proper exception handling ensures
that programs can recover from errors without
crashing or producing incorrect results.
STANDARD EXCEPTION TYPES

C++ provides several standard exception types


defined in the <stdexcept> library. These
include runtime_error, logic_error, and
out_of_range. Each type serves a specific
purpose and provides a structured way to
handle different error scenarios encountered
during program execution.
Run-time error: Occurs during program execution, often due
to invalid operations or resource issues, causing the program
to crash.

Logical error: A flaw in the program's logic, leading to


incorrect results, but the program runs without crashing.

Out of range exception: Happens when a program attempts


to access an index outside the valid range of a data
structure, like arrays.
USER-DEFINED EXCEPTIONS
In addition to standard exceptions, C++ allows
the creation of user-defined exceptions. This
enables developers to define specific error
conditions relevant to their applications. By
inheriting from the std::exception class,
you can create custom exceptions that
enhance error reporting and handling.
THROWING EXCEPTIONS

To signal an error, C++ uses the throw keyword.


When an exception is thrown, the control is
transferred to the nearest exception handler. This
mechanism allows developers to manage errors
effectively and maintain program stability without
cluttering the code with error-checking logic.
CATCHING EXCEPTIONS
Exceptions in C++ are caught using the try-
catch block. The code that may throw an
exception is placed in a try block, followed by
one or more catch blocks to handle specific
exception types. This structured approach
allows for precise error management and
recovery strategies.
BEST PRACTICES
When working with exceptions in C++, adhere
to best practices such as using specific catch
blocks, avoiding the use of bare catch
statements, and ensuring that exceptions
provide meaningful information. Properly
documenting exceptions enhances code
maintainability and improves collaboration
among developers.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, understanding exception types in C++ is essential for
robust software development. By leveraging both standard and user-
defined exceptions, developers can create more resilient applications.
Effective exception handling not only improves program reliability but
also enhances user experience by managing errors gracefully.
