T5_U5_Exception_Handling

The document discusses exception handling in programming, emphasizing its importance in identifying and managing errors during software development. It outlines the keywords 'try', 'throw', and 'catch' used in C++ for handling exceptions, providing syntax examples and explaining their functionality. Additionally, it contrasts a program without exception handling that results in an error message with a version that uses exception handling to provide a user-friendly error message.

Exception handling

· While writing large programs , a programmer usually makes many mistakes.

· Due to this , bugs occur even in the released softwares.

· Developing an error-free program is the only objective and intention of the programmer.

· Programmer should take care to prevent errors.

· Error can be trapped using exception-Handling features.

· A few programming languages support exception-handling features . without this feature , the
programmers should find out errors on their own.

· The error may be logical errors (or) syntax error.

· The logical error remains in the program due to a poor understanding of the program

· The Syntax Error made are due to a lack of understanding of the programming langauge

· C++ provides an Exception-Handling procedure to reduce the errors that the programmer
makes.

· The programmer always faces unusual errors while writing programs.

· An exception is an abnormal temination of the program, which is executed in a program at run


time or it may be called at run time when the error occurs.

· The exception contains warning messages such as

· invalid argument , insufficient memory , and division by zero

THE KEYWORDS try , throw & catch

· The exception - handling technique passes the control of a program from a location of exception
in a program to an exception-handler routine linked with the try lock .

· An exception - handler routine can only be called by the throw statement.

try

· The try keyword is followed by a series of statements enclosed in curly braces .

Syntax :

try

{
statement-1;

statment-2;

throw

· The function of the throw statement is to send the exception found .

· The declaration of the throw statement is as follow:

Syntax:

throw (except);

throw excep;

throw // re-throwing of an exception

catch

· Similar to the try block , the catch block also contains a series of statements enclosed in curly
braced.

· It also contains an argument of an exception type in parentheses.

syntax

try

statement-1

statement-2

catch(argument)

statement-3; // Action to be taken

· when an exception found , the catch block is executed.

· The catch statement contains an argument of exception type, and it is optional.


· When an argument is declared , the argument can be used in the catch block.

· After execution of the catch block the statements inside the blocks are executed.

· In case no exception is caught , the catch block is ignored, and if a mismatch is found , the
program is terminated

Write a program without exception

#include<iostream.h>

#include<conio.h>

void main()

clrscr();

int x=5,y=0,c;

c=x/y;

cout<<"\n Division is:"<<c;

getch();

OUTOUT

division by zero

· In the above program when user divided any number by zero means the output will throw the
error like as above , but as a user it will not understandable for the user

· A programmer can solve the error with the help of exception handling

Write the above program using Exception handling

#include<iostream.h>

#include<conio.h>

void main()

clrscr();
int x=5,y=0,c=0;

try

if(y==0)

throw " Don't user Zero as a divisior";

else

c=x/y;

cout<<"\n Division is:"<<c;

catch(char* msg)

cout<<msg;

getch();

· In above program if x=5 and y=0 means the if statement become true

· so try will identify the error and throw the message "Dont use zero as a divisor" with the help of
throw keyword

· catch- block will receive that upcomming error from try block with the help of string argument
varaible( msg) and display the erro to the user.
