C Error Handling

Error handling features are not supported by C programming, which is known as exception handling in C++ or in other OOP (Object Oriented Programming) languages. However, there are few methods and variables available in C’s header file error.h that is used to locate errors using return values of the function call. In C, the function return NULL or -1 value in case of any error and there is a global variable errno which sets the error code / number. Hence, the return value can be used to check error while programming.

By principle, programmer is expected to prevent program from errors that occur in the first place, and test return values from functions.
C language provides the following functions to represent errors. These are:
  • perror(): This function returns string pass to it along with the textual representation of current errno value.
  • strerror(): This function is defined in string.h library and this method returns a pointer to the string representation of the present errno value.
Let’s see an example to deal with error situation in C:
Example:

/* Divided By zero Error i.e. Exception*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main() {
int ddend = 60;
int dsor = 0;
int q;

if( dsor == 0){
fprintf
(stderr, "Division by zero! Exiting...\n");
getch
();
exit(-1);
}
q
= ddend / dsor;
fprintf
(stderr, "Value of quotient : %d\n", q);
getch
();
exit(0);
}

C++ Data Abstraction

C++ Data Abstraction Object oriented programming offers various features to write programs with various concepts that help to minimize problems and increase flexibility in program. One of the features of object oriented programming is Data abstraction. In this chapter you will learn about how the concept data abstraction is carried out within the C++ program. What is Data abstraction? Data abstraction allows a program to ignore the details of how a data type is represented. Abstraction (derived from a Latin word  abs , meaning away from and  trahere , meaning to draw) refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. C++ classes use the technique of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes such as width, cost, size etc and functions to operate on these attributes. They put in a nutshell all the essential properties of an object that are required to be created. The attributes are therefore called...
