How does exception handling work in C++?

Question

Gp Raji 0

I am a beginner in Java and I want to understand exception handling clearly.

Can someone explain how try, catch, and finally blocks work with a simple example?

Also, what is the difference between checked and unchecked exceptions?

It seems that C++ manages even without checked and unchecked exceptions.

Thanks for reaching out!

Exception handling allows C++ programs to:

Here is the simple code to learn more about exception handling

int main() {

try {

int a = 10;

int b = 0;

if (b == 0) {

throw b; // throwing exception

}

cout << a / b << endl;

}

catch (int e) {

cout << "Error: Division by zero is not allowed" << endl;

}

cout << "Program continues normally" << endl;

return 0;

}

if there are any more concern feel free to reach out!
