<H2>18.2 The Standard Exception Hierarchy</H2>
<A NAME="idx424"><!></A>
<P>The C++ Standard Library implements the two-category error model described in <A HREF="18-1.html">Section&nbsp;18.1</A> with a set of classes. These classes, which are defined in the <SAMP>stdexcept</SAMP> header file, can be used to catch exceptions thrown by the library and to throw exceptions from your own code.</P>
<P>The exception handling classes are related through inheritance. The inheritance hierarchy looks like this:</P>
<A NAME="idx425"><!></A>
<UL><PRE><B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/exception.html">exception</A></I></B>

<P>Classes <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/logic-error.html">logic_error</A></I></B> and <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/runtime-error.html">runtime_error</A></I></B> inherit from class <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/exception.html">exception</A></I></B>.
