How do I use exceptions in C++11?

In C++11, you can use exceptions to handle errors. You throw an exception using the 'throw' keyword and catch it with 'try' and 'catch' blocks.

Can you give me an example of throwing and catching an exception?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>

void mayGoWrong() {
    bool errorOccurred = true;
    if (errorOccurred) {
        throw std::runtime_error("Something went wrong!");
    }
}

int main() {
    try {
        mayGoWrong();
    } catch (const std::runtime_error& e) {
        std::cout << "Caught an exception: " << e.what() << '\n';
    }
}

This code demonstrates throwing and catching a runtime error.

What types of exceptions are available in C++11?

C++11 provides several standard exception classes, such as std::exception, std::runtime_error, std::logic_error, and more. You can also create your own exception classes.

Is it a good practice to use exceptions for control flow?

It's generally not recommended to use exceptions for regular control flow, as they can make the code harder to read and maintain. Use them for error handling instead.
