How do exceptions work in C++ and Java?

Can you explain how exceptions are handled in C++ and Java?

Sure! In C++, exceptions are handled using try, catch, and throw keywords. In Java, the mechanism is similar but has some differences.

What are the main differences between exception handling in C++ and Java?

One key difference is that C++ uses stack unwinding, while Java has a more structured exception hierarchy. Also, Java requires you to declare checked exceptions.

Can you give me an example of throwing an exception in both languages?

Absolutely! In C++, you might use throw std::runtime_error("Error occurred");, while in Java, you would use throw new Exception("Error occurred");.

Are there any best practices for using exceptions?

Yes, it's best to use exceptions for exceptional conditions, avoid using them for regular control flow, and always clean up resources in a finally block in Java.
