C and C based languages

Exceptions - C and C based languages module C236

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.

This topic is presented on public courses C++ for C Programmers, C and C++ Programming
