Chapter 5: Exception Handling and I/O in C++
Welcome to the fifth chapter of "Hello, my friendly C++ teacher"! In this chapter, we will explore two important topics: exception handling and I/O in C++.
Exception handling is a mechanism that allows you to handle errors and exceptional conditions in your code in a controlled and organised manner. By using exceptions, you can separate the error-handling code from the normal code, making it easier to maintain and debug your program.
I/O, or input/output, is the process of reading and writing data to and from external sources, such as files or the console. In C++, you have a wide range of options for performing I/O, including streams, file I/O, and more.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Exception handling in C++, including try-throw-catch blocks and exception classes
- The basics of I/O in C++, including reading and writing to the console and to files
- Using streams for I/O, including the standard input and output streams,
cin
andcout
- Advanced I/O topics, such as formatting and using manipulators
By the end of this chapter, you will have a good understanding of how to handle exceptions and perform I/O in C++, and you'll be set to embark on the final segment of the course.
