Exception handling is carried out using try, catch blocks and the throw statement.

Try block includes all code which can result into any exception.

It is followed by one or more catch blocks starting from most specific to least specific. A catch block handling exception of a class type can also handle exceptions of any class in its inheritance hierarchy.

A function can declare a throw (....) declaration saying that it is not going to handle exceptions of the specified types. These exceptions will be thrown to the calling function.

If an exception is unhandled the program will have abnormal termination.

try catch blocks can be nested to any level.
