Explanation of Solution

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”...

Consider the following program that counts the number of spaces in a user-supplied string. Modify the program to define and use a function, countSpaces, instead. def main() :   userInput = input("Enter a string: ")   spaces = 0   for char in userInput :      if char == " " :         spaces = spaces + 1   print(spaces)   main()
What is the python code for the  function def readFloat(prompt) that displays the prompt string, followed by a space, reads a floating-point number in, and returns it. Here is a typical usage:                    salary = readFloat("Please enter your salary:")                    percentageRaise = readFloat("What percentage raise would you like?")
assume python does not define count method that can be applied to a string to determine the number of occurances of a character within a string. Implement the function numChars that takes a string and a character as arguments and determined and returns how many occurances of the given character occur withing the given string
