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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))

Exceptions
Exercises, examples and other material relating to training module C236. This topic is presented on public courses Learning to program in C and C++, C++ for C Programmers, C and C++ Programming, Learning to program in C and C++, C and C++ Programming

Background
Error checking - anything from checking that the user has entered a valid respones to a question through to ensuring that a remote system you need to contact is available - is a vital part of any program. Sometimes, you can easily check things with a few if statements, but at other times it's much more practical to use an exception system where you call for a piece of code to be run, but then branch off to a particular handler is a certain condition is triggered.

3509Operator Overloading, Exceptions, Pointers, References and Templates in C++ - new examples from our courses
I've added three new C++ examples to our library following on from last week's C++ course. Each of them is one step beyond "hello world" with regard to the particular feature it's showing, but isn't so advanced and showing so many options that it confuses the newcomer - at least that's the theory. ...

1875What are exceptions - Python based answer
How do you check for run time errors in your program? You'll include tests with if statements in almost every program you write, to ensure that user entered data is reasonable / as you would expect ... but you will also need to do more that that. You'll need to check whether a system function has run ...

799The case for exceptions
When you run a program, things can go wrong - run time errors. And no amount of coding by the programmer can prevent these things - it’s a user entering a string of text when a number’s required, a needed file having been deleted, or a network connection that’s broken that causes ...
