From: rupika on 22 Jun 2008 00:37 hi i have been recently told that there is no exception handling ic c+ +.?? as far as i remember i have read, it has. also java has exception handling for sure but there we can use finally also which we cant use in c ++. what other differences do we have in the two languages c++ and java in exception handling. and which one is better?

C doesn't (except in a very rudimentary signally kind of way), but C++ does. > as far as i remember i have read, it has. It has. See Section 15 of ISO/IEC 14882:1998. > also java has exception handling for sure but there we can use finally > also which we cant use in c ++. You are very likely to find that C++ can in fact do what you want it to do, even if it doesn't do it in quite the same way as Java. > what other differences do we have in > the two languages c++ and java in exception handling. For a full answer, you would do well to consult the language specifications for the languages you're asking about... > and which one is better? ....and that's just flame-bait. If you're trying to decide on whether to learn Java or C++, the answer is simple: learn them both. -- Richard Heathfield <http://www.cpax.org.uk> Email: -http://www. +rjh@ Google users: <http://www.cpax.org.uk/prg/writings/googly.php> "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999

C++ certainly has exception handling. > as far as i remember i have read, it has.

Both Java's and C++'s exceptions are quite similar and each can do almost everything the other can. I suggest that you not chose between C++ and Java based on this feature. If you want an interpreted language with a very large number of built-in facilities then go with Java. If you want maximum flexibility at the cost of a somewhat steeper learning curve then start with C++.

About exceptions, I'd say C++ has very poor and buggy support for it: http://yosefk.com/c++fqa/exceptions.html -- Lars Rune N�stdal http://nostdal.org/

A bug means a programming mistake, ie. the program working erroneously, not in the intended way. By definition, "buggy support" is compiler-specific. Compiler may have bugs, specifications don't. (Specifications may have poor design choices or even errors, but those aren't called "bugs".) |
