For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Throwing your own exception in C++, and catching it

In C++ you can throw anything - it doesn't have to be something "throw-able" as in Java.

1. Create a class of objects that you want to throw in exceptional circumstances
2. When you want to throw an exception, use the throw keyword and pass in the object
3. Call the code that you want to catch the exception in a try block and
4. Add catch blocks after the try block to handle the exceptions.

Full example, with comments, [here].

There's a program using string objects - here - that shows how some of the C++ system classes throw exceptions ...

92:antrim graham$ ./prob
Please enter your details I am Graham Ellis and I am in Belfast at present
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what(): basic_string::erase
Abort trap
92:antrim graham$


And here is a similar program but with an added exception handler:

92:antrim graham$ ./except
Please enter your details This is a further demonstration for you
Caught exception basic_string::erase
We could go on if we wanted
Although in this demo we'll exit nice
92:antrim graham$


See [here] for the failing code and [here] for the fixed code.
