What are the best practices for error handling in C++ and Java?

In C++, it's common to use exceptions for error handling, while in Java, try-catch blocks are widely used. Both languages benefit from clear error messages and proper resource management.

Can you explain how to use exceptions in C++?

Sure! In C++, you can throw an exception using the 'throw' keyword and catch it with a 'try-catch' block. This allows you to handle errors gracefully.

What about Java? How does it differ?

In Java, you also use try-catch blocks, but you have checked and unchecked exceptions. Checked exceptions must be declared in the method signature, while unchecked exceptions do not.

Are there any specific libraries for error handling?

Yes, in C++, you can use libraries like Boost for better error handling. In Java, the Apache Commons library offers utilities for exception handling.
