Exception Handling in C++: try,

catch, and throw


Understanding the basics of error
handling in C++ programming
Introduction to Exception Handling
• • Exception handling is a mechanism in C++ to
handle runtime errors gracefully.
• • It prevents abrupt termination and allows
controlled handling of errors.
• • Key components in C++ are try, catch, and
throw.
Purpose and Syntax of try, catch,
throw
• • try: Defines a block to test code for
exceptions.
• • throw: Used to throw an exception when an
error is encountered.
• • catch: Catches and handles exceptions that
match the throw.

• Syntax Example:
• try {
Basic Example of Exception
Handling
• Example:

• int divide(int a, int b) {


• if (b == 0)
• throw "Division by zero error!";
• return a / b;
• }

• int main() {
Nested and Multiple catch Blocks
• • Multiple catch blocks can be used to handle
different types of exceptions.
• • Nested try-catch blocks allow handling
exceptions at different levels.

• Example:
• try {
• try {
• throw 10;
Best Practices in Exception
Handling
• • Use exceptions only for exceptional
conditions, not for control flow.
• • Always catch exceptions by reference (e.g.,
const std::exception& e).
• • Use specific exception types for better
handling.
• • Ensure all resources (e.g., memory) are
freed before throwing.
• • Avoid throwing exceptions in destructors.
