Explanation of Solution
Exception:
In C++, the exception is an object used to signal the unexpected error occurred during a
- 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:
try
{
//code which causes an exception;try block
}

For instance, dividing a number by ‘0’ is a mathematical error (not defined). As you learned in class, you can use exception handling to overcome such operations. If you write a code without using exception handling, then the output of division by zero will be shown as infinity which cannot be further processed. Consider the following code: float Division(float num, float den) {return (num / den);} int main() { float numerator = 12.5; float denominator = 0; float result; result = Division(numerator, denominator); cout << "The quotient of 12.5/0 is " << result << endl; }arrow_forward
