Detecting an Exception
nTherefore, try blocks establish when exception handling is in effect.
nIf an exception is thrown outside of a try block, terminate is called.
nWhen we are in a try block, we are able to select and
handle different
types of exceptions. This is called catching an exception.
nThe following demonstrates a try block that
"turns on"
exception handling for our entire program:
int main() {
try {
... //program code
}
... //code to handle exceptions
cout <<"normal program exit"
<<endl;
return(0); }
