[@smokinjoe9415]

One problem with most of your tutorials, including this one, is that you should also point out flaws in your example code. The biggest flaw and easiest to explain is that in your example code, you should be passing the strings as const references instead of passing them in by value which causes huge performance problems due to all the unneeded string copies. For example your ctor should have const string &name instead of just 'string name' (bad performance hit). Same with print. and since you aren't modifying the strings passed in, make them const. Doing this will help create less newbies running around creating bad code. There are many other improvements that would make your code better and production quality, but in a beginner tutorial that is not a good idea - but using references instead of by value when possible is something a newbie should learn day one.

[@tomastank1030]

That's exactly what I was thinking too. Passing a very large document by value will use up stack space so best pass a pointer or reference to the string document which is really passing an address to the document string. 👍

[@krentwhite2668]

[@papiermuecke7626]

I subscribed your channel because you explain so many c++ functions that i have never learned in my study! Also its very easy for me to understand everything because your english is so fluent! :-) It would be interresting, if it's possible to put parameters into default catch functions instead of these "...". Thank you very much! Love from Germany!

[@CodeBeauty]

There is no need for parameters in default catch, because it will catch any unhanded exception 🤗🤗

[@HazemAbdElhamid-ey9sy]

So clear...Thanks.

[@yash1152]

23:57 my only query/worry is that this way becomes way too dependent on both the function call as well as function implementation. In my mind: 1. there should be some way within the function definition to try-throw-catch and jump back to caller function 2. If the caller function contains an assignment after return, then skip that assignment and proceed to next stmt This aint ideal though, as it wont work in other expressions like comparison, or cout etc...

[@smokinjoe9415]

Another VERY important thing to teach newbies about exceptions, DO NOT USE THEM TO REPLACE REGULAR ERROR HANDLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exceptions have overhead due to stack unwinding and other things, they are NOT meant to replace errors such as running out of printer paper, you should return errors (int or a bool for example) to indicate failed status. An exception would be an I/O error with the printer, that should be an exception of course, but not running out of paper or ink. If I was reading a file, a READ ERROR would be an exception, but if they format of the data we read is not as expected (for example you are trying to read a JPEG file and it isn't JPEG format) this is NOT an exception, it should be handled as an error. I emphasize this because exception handing gets a bad reputation for performance, and that is only because numbskulls are using it as a replacement for error handing which is bad. An EXCEPTION is something that is out of the users control. A good used for exceptions is lets say you are reading a structured file format and need to read ints, shorts, chars, etc. Instead of checking each read, put them in a try block and catch them. This can actually boost performance because instead of checking lets say 5 I/O calls, you can do no tests and handle the exception. For example: try { read a short read a char read a long read a short read a char } catch(...) { } if the short/char/long or whatever is NOT the format you expected return an error code indicating that the file is not the correct format. That generates much tigher code than: read a short if the read failed, return an error read a char if the read failed, return an error etc... See we have all the silly IF statements. That creates code that is not cache friendly and has overhead. But in the try/catch, it generates code with less overhead. If we end up in the catch block, we know that either the file is not what we expected or there was an I/O failure, so we cleanup and close the file, then return an error. If we did not get an exception, we examine the values we read to determine if for example it was a JPEG, if it is, then we continue to read the data now that the header is processed. That is a more professional (and faster/optimized code) than simply treating exception handing as a replacement for error such as "Not a JPEG", exceptions should be EXCEPTIONAL conditions. ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT THING: NEVER throw any exceptions from a destructor for example. Speaking of IO, by default things such as streams and such throw by default, fclose() can also throw (failed to write out buffers), so be very careful in destructors. You can disable throwing with I/O if you want to handle the errors manually. Bottom line: This is C++, not some high level python code where you simply write trash code and ignore errors (ever wonder why many apps/games just crash? that is why, it was made by an amateur or lazy programmer. C++ code is very fast and optimal if used correctly, and if used correctly exception handling can actually improve your code (just as I showed by eliminating a bunch of branches that create cache unfriendly code), but it is NOT meant to replace general error handling.

Advantages of using error handling methods over only using if-then statements?

[@shaikhshehzad024]

Maybe for readability and you won't need to put a special return value for function in case you want to handle error.

Hi, i like the way you explain, can you please make a video on C++ std::threads ?Thanks in advance

[@danielh.4265]

@codebeauty I really like your way of explaining programming, approaches and the language C++ itself. Unfortunately this video is showing how exceptions should not be used. Well, I've seen this a lot, so I think it's a general problem. Why? Well it's called "exception" not "error code". If your virtual printer is running out of paper it's not exceptional behavior but normal behavior. It can happen. So we should treat it that way. So returning an error code or better a structured error is the better implementation. This way the caller can also react in a proper, "normal" way. IMHO, here is what Exceptions are for. A type should raise an exception if its methods are called in a way so that they cannot work properly. Means the requirements of the methods parameters are not met. For your example, if a caller is trying to use the Print-method and the txtDoc parameter is null, line 14 would automatically raise an exception. Why is that? Well since txtDoc is not instantiated, the length method cannot be called. The minimal requirements of the Print-method are not fulfilled. Well of course there is already an implicit exception which is thrown, but it's cryptic and the caller needs to know your code to understand that calling .length is failing because he is passing null to your method. With an explicit exception, means " if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(txtDoc)) throw new ArgumentNullException("Null is not allowed."); " this is not the case. Your API is much more robust and understandable. Plus your implementation can be seen as a blackbox which is always good. Anyway, keep up your good work. 👍

Could anybody please explain to me why she throws an exception for a (const char * txtException) when the type of the exception is a string literal? Also why is there a need to use the "const" qualifier along with a pointer? I do not understand please help!

[@celikvolkan]

According to the standard a text with double quotes is not a string. It is a const char *. This is because C legacy of C++. This address represents the address of the character array in ROM (.text code segment) part of the program. And it has to be const, not to let anybody to change it because as I said, those characters stays on the ROM side.

[@ksprakashkumar]

Hi Saldina, Thanks a lot for your effort in teaching C++. In this example, we can add one more print and demonstrate that fourth print will not get executed when third print got an exception.

[@mose999]

I summerize a point which may be easily overlooked: in 12:39 you must use "a pointer" as the parameter , so if you throw a "string type var" , you use the const char * ,because we need a pointer,however,"string" doesn't have pointer and "char" do.And string is actually a "char"

In my C / C++ classes as a student, I did a sort numbers into order using what I just leaned on "recursion function" without using a temp int., when it goes through the list and does not do a swap, it breaks out the calling itself cycle. Post school days maybe I could have tried classes to do, Ascending, Descending order, and maybe to really tax the brain, the same order of the telephone book (but with numbers not character string the book uses), that would in a order like 1, 10 150, 23 230, 3, ...............up to 9??? order. Then someone from a C / C++ email group said, try this out x^= y^= x^ = y^ = x ( ^ is exclusive or ) that does not need a temp int
