What is Exception Handling?
Exception handling in C++ is a powerful mechanism that allows a program to
detect and manage runtime errors in a systematic way. In simple terms, it helps a
program handle unexpected events or abnormal situations that occur while the
program is running. Instead of letting the program crash or behave unpredictably,
exception handling provides a way to catch these errors, display an appropriate
message, and either recover from the error or terminate safely.
An exception is an event that occurs during the execution of a program and
disrupts the normal flow of instructions. Common examples of exceptions include
division by zero, invalid user input, array index out of bounds, and file handling
errors. Exception handling is designed to respond to such issues gracefully.
Need for Exception
Handling
Exception handling in C++ is needed to manage unexpected
runtime errors like division by zero or invalid input. Without
it, programs may crash or produce incorrect results.
Traditional methods, such as return codes, make code
complicated and unreliable.
Using try, throw, and catch blocks, exception handling
separates normal code from error-handling code, making
programs cleaner and easier to maintain. It helps detect and
handle errors gracefully, allowing the program to continue
or terminate safely. Overall, exception handling improves
program reliability, stability, and user experience.
How Exception Handling
Works
Exception handling in C++ works through a structured process that
detects and manages runtime errors using three main keywords :-

(e.g., a number, string, or class
object).
Basic Syntax Example Program
The catch block executes only if an exception is thrown inside try.
Multiple Catch Blocks
C++ allows multiple catch blocks for different exception types.
catch(...) handles any type of exception.
Nested Try-Catch
A try block can be inside another
try.
Useful in complex programs.
Exception Handling with
Functions
Exceptions can be thrown from functions and caught in the calling function.
Standard Exception
Classes
<exception> header provides built-in exceptions:
std::exception
std::bad_alloc (memory allocation error)
std::out_of_range, std::runtime_error, etc.

CONCLUSION
Exception handling in C++ is a powerful mechanism that ensures
programs run smoothly even when unexpected errors occur. It
separates normal code from error-handling code, making
applications more reliable and easier to maintain. Using try,
catch, and throw blocks, developers can detect and respond to
different types of runtime issues gracefully. This feature
promotes robustness, readability, and stability in software
development. By handling exceptions properly, programmers
can prevent crashes, maintain data integrity, and deliver a better
user experience. In essence, exception handling is an essential
part of writing secure, efficient, and professional C++ programs.
