Chapter 16, Problem 32RQE
Program Plan Intro

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.

Exception Handler:

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

  • After the execution of “throw” statement, the program control will move to another part in the same program to handle the exception is called as “exception handler”.
  • In order to handle an exception, construct a “try/catch” block in a program.

The “try” block:

  • The “try” block is starts with the keyword “try” and it contains the code which will have the possibility to generate an exception.
  • The “try” block must be followed by one or more “catch” blocks which are denoted as exception handlers.

The “catch” block:

  • The “catch” block is starts with the keyword “catch” and it is followed by an “exception parameter”.
  • The Catch block contains the code to be executed when the error occurred in Try block.

The general syntax for “try/catch” as follows:

A cylinder of diameter 10 cm rotates concentrically inside another hollow cylinder of inner diameter 10.1 cm. Both cylinders are 20 cm long and stand with their axis vertical. The annular space is filled with oil. If a torque of 100 kg cm is required to rotate the inner cylinder at 100 rpm, determine the viscosity of oil. Ans. μ= 29.82poise
Make the following game user friendly with GUI, with some simple graphics The following code works as this: The objective of the player is to escape from this labyrinth. The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. The player can move only in four directions: left, right, up or down. There are several escape paths in all labyrinths. The player’s character should be able to moved with the well known WASD keyboard buttons. If the dragon gets to a neighboring field of the player, then the player dies. Because it is dark in the labyrinth, the player can see only the neighboring fields at a distance of 3 units.  Cell Class: public class Cell { private boolean isWall; public Cell(boolean isWall) { this.isWall = isWall; } public boolean isWall() { return isWall; } public void setWall(boolean isWall) { this.isWall = isWall; } @Override public String toString() {…
