  • Explain the Advantages and Disadvantages of Using C++ Exceptions

    C++ exceptions provide a way to handle errors and exceptional conditions. Advantages include better error handling and separating error-handling code from regular code. Disadvantages include potential performance overhead and complexity in exception safety.

    Example of C++ exception handling:

    #include 
    
    void mayThrow() {
        throw std::runtime_error("An error occurred");
    }
    
    int main() {
        try {
            mayThrow();
        } catch (const std::exception& e) {
            std::cerr << "Caught exception: " << e.what() << std::endl;
        }
        return 0;
    }
