What does the use of exception handling in programming involve?

The exception construction is used for handling errors and unforeseen situations during program execution. It allows separating the main code from error handling code, making the program more readable and robust. When an exceptional situation occurs (for example, division by zero or input/output error), an exception is generated, which can be caught and handled in a catch block, preventing the program from crashing.

Example in C++:

try {
    int a = 10, b = 0;
    if (b == 0) {
        throw std::runtime_error("Division by zero");
    }
    int c = a / b;
} catch (const std::exception& e) {
    std::cerr << "Error: " << e.what() << std::endl;
}
