catch
{
 // Code for handling exceptions....
}
d)
try()
{
// programable codes.....
}
catch
{
// Code for handling exceptions....
}
Answer: a
Explanation: Try-catch block has the following syntax:
try{
// codes that needs to check for exceptions
}
catch(Exception E1){
// codes for handling exception....
// Exception E denotes the type of exception this block is handling.
}
catch(Exception E2){
// other exception that needs to be handled...
}

Which part of the try-catch block is always fully executed?

or not.

123.What is the difference between error and exception?

a) Both are the same
b) Errors can be handled at the run-time but the exceptions cannot
c) Exceptions can be handled at the run-time but the errors cannot
d) Both can be handled during run-time
Answer: c
Explanation: Exceptions can be handled during run-time whereas errors cannot be because
exceptions occur due to some unexpected conditions during run-time whereas about errors
compiler is sure and tells about them during compile-time.

124. What is Re-throwing an exception means in C++?

a) An exception that is thrown again as it is not handled by that catching block
b) An exception that is caught twice
c) An exception that is not handled in one caught hence thrown again
d) All of the mentioned
Answer: d
Explanation: Exception that is caught by a catch block but not handled by that catch block can be
re-thrown by that catch block to further try-catch block.

125. Which of the following is an exception in C++?

a) Divide by zero
b) Semicolon not written
c) Variable not declared
d) An expression is wrongly written
Answer: a
Explanation: Exceptions are those which are encountered during run-time of the program.
semicolon, variable not declared and the wrong expression are compile-time errors, therefore,
they are not exceptions. Divide by zero is the problem that is encountered during run-time,
therefore, it is an exception.

126.By default, what a program does when it detects an exception?

a) Continue running
b) Results in the termination of the program
c) Calls other functions of the program
d) Removes the exception and tells the programmer about an exception
Answer: b
Explanation: By default, whenever a program detects an exception the program crashes as it does
not know how to handle it hence results in the termination of the program.

127.Why do we need to handle exceptions?

a) To avoid unexpected behaviour of a program during run-time
b) To let compiler remove all exceptions by itself
c) To successfully compile the program
d) To get correct output
Answer: a
Explanation: We need to handle exceptions in a program to avoid any unexpected behaviour
during run-time because that behaviour may affect other parts of the program. Also, an exception
is detected during run-time, therefore, a program may compile successfully even with some
exceptions cases in your program.

128. Where should we place catch block of the derived class in a try-catch block?
a) Before the catch block of Base class
b) After the catch block of Base class
c) Anywhere in the sequence of catch blocks
d) After all the catch blocks
Answer: a
Explanation: C++ asks the programmer to place the catch block of derived class before a catch
block of the base class, otherwise derived catch block will never be executed.

129.An uncaught handler returns to _______________

a) main function
b) its caller
c) Function it is called by

130. Exception handlers are declared with ____________ keyword.

a) try
b) catch
c) throw
d) finally
Answer: b
Explanation: C++ uses catch block to handle any exceptions that occur during run-time of the
program.

131. In nested try-catch block, if the inner catch block gets executed, then______________
a) Program stops immediately
b) Outer catch block also executes
c) Compiler jumps to the outer catch block and executes remaining statements of the main()
function
d) Compiler executes remaining statements of outer try-catch block and then the main() function
Answer: d
Explanation: The inner catch block will be executed then remaining part of the outer try block
will be executed and then the main bock will be executed.
132. If inner catch block is unable to handle the exception thrown then__________
a) The compiler looks for the outer try-catch block
b) Program stops abnormally
c) The compiler will check for appropriate catch handler of the outer try block
d) The compiler will not check for appropriate catch handler of the outer try block
Answer: c
Explanation: In such cases, the compiler will try to find an appropriate outer catch block to
handle the exception otherwise if nothing is there then occurs the abnormal behaviour of the
program.
