<P>This following example program demonstrates the use of exceptions:</P>
<UL><PRE>
#include &lt;string&gt; // for string
#include &lt;stdexcept&gt; // for exception, runtime_error, out_of_range
#include &lt;iostream&gt; // for cout
int main ()
{
// First we'll incite and catch an exception from the C++ Standard
// library class std::string by attempting to replace a substring
// starting at a position beyond the end of the string object.
try {
std::string ().replace (100, 1, 1, 'c');
}
catch (std::out_of_range &amp;e) {
// Print out the exception string, which in this implementation
// includes the location and the name of the function that threw
// the exception along with the reason for the exception.
std::cout &lt;&lt; "Caught an out_of_range exception: "
&lt;&lt; e.what () &lt;&lt; '\n';
}
catch (std::exception &amp;e) {
std::cout &lt;&lt; "Caught an exception of an unexpected type: "
&lt;&lt; e.what () &lt;&lt; '\n';
}
catch (...) {
std::cout &lt;&lt; "Caught an unknown exception\n";
}
// Throw another exception.
try {
throw std::runtime_error ("a runtime error");
}
catch (std::runtime_error &amp;e) {
std::cout &lt;&lt; "Caught a runtime_error exception: "
&lt;&lt; e.what () &lt;&lt; '\n';
}
catch (std::exception &amp;e) {
std::cout &lt;&lt; "Caught an exception of an unexpected type: "
&lt;&lt; e.what () &lt;&lt; '\n';
}
catch (...) {
std::cout &lt;&lt; "Caught an unknown exception\n";
}
return 0;
}
</PRE></UL>
<P>The exact output of the program is specific to the compiler used to compile it and to the location of the library headers but may look something like this:</P><UL><PRE>
Caught an out_of_range exception: /usr/local/stdcxx/include/string.cc:422: std::string& std::string::replace(size_type, size_type, size_type, char_type): argument value 100 out of range [0, 0)
Caught a runtime_error exception: a runtime error
</UL></PRE>
