Chapter 10: Exception Handling

Exception handling in C# allows programmers to gracefully handle errors and exceptions that occur during program execution. Code that may cause exceptions is placed within a try block, with catch blocks to handle specific exceptions, and a finally block for code that should always run. Common exceptions include dividing by zero, null reference errors, out of bounds array access, and more. Structured exception handling prevents program crashes and allows the program to continue running or display user-friendly error messages.

Chapter 10: Exception Handling

Exception Handling
Structures

 A Structure can be thought of as a “record


definition” within a C# program
 Combines multiple data types into an object
that can be manipulated
 In C++, was the same as a class.
 Many times a better approach than parallel
arrays (but probably not as good as a class)
Structures

struct oStates
{
String sAbbrev = "";
String sName = "";
String sBird = "“;
int nPopulation = 0;
}
oStates[] myStates = new oStates[50];

 This set up allows us to reference all the information about a


state by reference the myStates array.
– myStates[index].sAbbrev for example
Structures and our Quiz Program

 Something in between using a class for the


questions and a parallel array could be to
use a question structure and then instancing
an array (or list) of those questions.
Exception Handling
 Try…Catch…Finally
 Code that may create a problem is placed in the try
block
 Code to deal with the problem (the exception
handler) is placed in catch blocks
– catch clause

 Code to be executed whether an exception is thrown


or not is placed in the finally block
Try…Catch…Finally

 Generic catch clause


– Omit argument list with the catch
– Any exception thrown is handled by executing
code within that catch block
 Control is never returned into the try block
after an exception is thrown
 Using a try…catch block can keep the
program from terminating abnormally
Example

try {
int zero = 0;
int val = 100 / zero;
val = val + 1;
}
catch (DivideByZeroException ex)
{
throw new DivideByZeroException("Please don't
try to divide by zero !!", ex);
}
