How can I handle errors in C++ effectively?

In C++, you can handle errors using exceptions, error codes, or assertions. Would you like to know more about any specific method?

What are exceptions and how do I use them?

Exceptions are a way to signal that an error has occurred. You can use try, catch, and throw keywords to manage them. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of using exceptions.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

try {
    // Code that may throw an exception
    throw std::runtime_error("An error occurred");
} catch (const std::exception& e) {
    std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
}

What about error codes? How do they compare to exceptions?

Error codes are returned by functions to indicate success or failure, while exceptions provide a way to handle errors without cluttering the code. Each has its use cases.
