Module 7 - Exception Handling

This document discusses exception handling in programming. It defines exceptions as erroneous situations during program execution. Exception handling provides a structured way to handle errors. Keywords like try, catch, and finally are used to define blocks of code to handle exceptions. The document describes system-defined and user-defined exception types, and how to use try blocks with catch and finally blocks to define exception handling code. Examples are given showing how to catch specific exception types.

Exceptions
 An exception is an erroneous situation that occurs during
program execution.

  Exception-handling provides a structured and uniform way of


handling system- level and application-level errors.

 All exceptions are represented by an instance of a pre-


defined class, System.Exception.

 Some of the system level exceptions are :-

 A division by zero

 A reference to a Null value


Exception Handling Keywords
 Try
 Catch
 finally
System Defined Exceptions
 Exception (Base Class)
 IndexOutOfRangeException
 NullReferenceException
 ArgumentException
 ArrayTypeMismatchException
 OverflowException
 ArithmeticException
 DivideByZeroException
 InvalidOperationException
User Defined Exceptions

 Besides the default or system exceptions, a


programmer can also creates his own set of
exceptions. The advantage is :-

 It can hold more information about the error


condition than a standard class.

 The user can tailor the catch blocks to the specific


exception type, instead of catching a generic
exception.
Try Block

A try block guards the statements that may throw an


exception.
try
{
//statements that may cause an exception

}
Using try and catch Block

You can associate an exception-handler with the try


block by providing one or more catch-handlers
immediately after the try block.

try
{
//statements that may cause an exception
}
catch (…)
{
//error handling code
}
Using try and finally block
The finally block is used to execute a given set of
statements, irrespective of whether an exception is
thrown or not.

try
{
//statements that may cause an exception
}
finally
{
//statements to be executed
}
Handling try-catch-finally block

 Since catch performs exception handling and finally performs


the cleanup, the best approach is to merge both applications.
 Syntax :-
try
{
//statements that may cause an exception
}
catch (…)
{
//error handling code
}
finally
{
//statements to be executed
}
Finally block

 If no exception is thrown from the try block, control


passes to the finally block after the closing brace of
the try block.

 If no catch block is specified or none of the catch


blocks match the exception.

 If a matching catch block exists, it gets executed,


after which the catch block control comes to finally
block.
Throwing Exceptions
 To throw an exception explicitly one has to use the
throw statement.
 Helpful for throwing user defined exceptions
Example 1 – Exception Handling
using System;
namespace Exception Handling
{
class Add_nums
{
public static void add(int a, int b)
{
int res=a/b;
Console.WriteLine(res);
}
public static void Main()
{
Add_nums.add(10,0);
}
}

Result in Exception
Example 2 – Exception Handling
Using System;
namespace Exception Handling
{
public class excep1
{
static void Main(string[] arg)
{
int[] a ={ 2, 4, 12, 56, 23 };
for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
try
{
Console.WriteLine("The {0}th element of the array
is {1}", i, a[i]);
}
catch (IndexOutOfRangeException e)
Example 2 – Exception Handling..

{
Console.WriteLine("An Exception has occured");

Console.WriteLine("The description is " + e);


}
}
}
}
