What are advantages of the exception handling mechanism? Explain the components of exception handling mechanism with suitable example.

 Exception handling is a mechanism in programming languages that allows the program to handle run-time errors gracefully. Exception handling enables the program to identify and recover from unexpected errors and provides a way for programmers to ensure that their code runs safely and efficiently. Advantages of exception handling: Code modularity: Exception handling allows the separation of error-handling code from the rest of the program logic, making it easier to maintain and update. Robustness: Exception handling provides a more robust and safe way to handle errors than traditional error-handling methods such as error codes or flags. Flexibility: Exception handling can be customized to handle specific types of errors and provide specific responses based on the situation. The components of the exception handling mechanism in C++ include: Try block: The try block is used to enclose the code that might throw an exception.
