Exception:

In C++, the exception is an object used to signal the unexpected error occurred during a program execution.

  • An exception has been thrown when an error has been occurred in a program.

Explanation of Solution

Throw point:

The throw point is a statement which uses the keyword “throw” to throw an exception which occurred while executing the program.

Example:

Consider the following code segment which throws an exception when it receives value “0” for the argument “b”:

//Function "division" is used to divide two integers

double division(int a, int b)

{

//The value of "b" is 0

if (b == 0)

{

//throw point

//throw an exception contains message

throw "ERROR: denominator should not be "0".\n " ;

}

//otherwise, do the division

else

{

//return the result

return static_ cast<double>(a)/b;

}

}

In the above example, the “throw” statement is used to throw a message and the statement is referred as “throw point”.

  • After the execution of “throw” statement, the program control will move to another part in the same program.

Instructions: In the code editor, you are provided with a treasureChestMagic() function which has the following description: Return type - void Name - treasureChestMagic Parameters - an address of an integer Description - updates the value of a certain integer randomly You do not have to worry about how the treasureChestMagic() function works. All you have to do is ask the user for an integer and then call the treasureChestMagic() function, passing the address of that integer you just asked. Finally, print the updated value of the integer inputted by the user.   Please create a main code for my function that works with this. This is my code: #include<stdio.h>#include<math.h> void treasureChestMagic(int*); int main(void) {    // TODO: Write your code here     return 0;} void treasureChestMagic(int *n) {    int temp = *n;    int temp2 = temp;     *n = *n + 5 - 5 * 5 / 5;     temp2 = (int) pow(2, 3);     if(temp % 3 == 0) {        *n = temp * 10;    } else if(temp %…
