How to catch the exception?

How to catch the following exceptions?

Failure in an assignment operator
Detection of an out-of-bound index in a user-defined array
Range-checked access to a vector

Any comments are appreciated!

How to catch the following exceptions?
All exceptions are caught by a 'catch' clause after a 'try'
block in which the exception is thrown.
Failure in an assignment operator
What kind of "failure"?
Detection of an out-of-bound index in a user-defined array
No such standard exception, AFAIK. Consult your compiler manual
for a possible compiler-specific one.
Range-checked access to a vector


Do you mean std::vector or some other "vector"? If the standard
one, then there is no specific exception thrown on an attempt to
dereference an invalid iterator. There can be, of course, some
kind of implementation-specific one, but you'll have to look in
the compiler documentation for that.

operator[] on vector doesn't do any range checking.
vector::at does check and throw...

vector<int> v(10);

try {
v.at(12);
} catch (out_of_range) {
cerr << "You fool!\n";
}

With a catch() block, as Victor said.

Failure in an assignment operator
Assignment operators are source-code constructs, which don't exist at
runtime. So I guess you mean a user-defined operator=(). In that case,
the function would have to throw an exception in order for it to be
caught, and you'd simply catch that exception as you would any other.
Detection of an out-of-bound index in a user-defined array
What do you mean by "user-defined array"? if you are talking about
built-in arrays, there's no standard exception that is thrown - an
out-of-bound access simply invokes undefined behavior.

If you defined an array class, you could check for out-of-bound accesses
and throw whatever exception you want. You would catch this the same way
you catch any other exception.
Range-checked access to a vector


If you use the vector::at() function, an exception will be thrown for an
out-of-range access, as Ron mentioned. operator[] silently invokes
undefined behavior on an out-of-range access.

In both the array and vector cases, you could feasibly create your own
range-checked iterators that throw an exception of your choice.

Hi all. I've got an question about how to catch an exception. In Page_Load, I place a DataGrid, dg1, into edit mode. This will call the method called GenericGridEvent. GenericGridEvent will call a mehtod called ExceptionGenerator that will generate a run-time exception. The exception is caught in GenericGridEvent, but it isn't caught in InitializeComponenet (which doens't suprise me). I can't figure out where to catch an error that may...

I want to set up my CATCH for a specific exception, but I really don't know which one of the multitude that it is. I am getting the exception now with Catch ex as Exception but I want to be more specific. I can't find any property of the exception object that tells me WHICH one it is. TIA,

Another wish of mine. I wish there was a way in the Try Catch structure to say if there wasn't an error to do something. Like an else statement. Try Catch Else Finally. Also because I understand Finally runs whether an error was caught or not, I haven't found a use for finally yet.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
