int main() {
try {
throw 5.5;
} catch (int e) {
cout << "Caught int: " << e << endl;
} catch (double e) {
cout << "Caught double: " << e << endl;
} catch (...) {
cout << "Default Exception" << endl;
}

PART - B
1 a) Illustrate exception handling? Explain types of exception handling and explain suitable CDL
examples. (8M) 1
b) Elaborate the Try, Catch, and Throw mechanisms? Explain with an example. (8M)
2 a) Write a program using put() to write characters to a file until user enters a dollar sign (8 CDL
M) 1
b) Write a C++ program to create a file named "log.txt" and write the current date and time
to the file. (8M)
3 Construct a C++ program that reads a file name from the user, displays information about CDL
whether the file exists, whether the file is readable, or writable, the type of file and the 2
length of the file in bytes.(16M)
4 Write a C++ program to manage employee records using file handling. The program should CDL
allow adding new employee records to a file named "employees.txt" and displaying all 1
records. Each record should include employee ID, name, and department. (16M)
5 Develop a C++ program to handle student grade management using file handling. Your CDL
program should facilitate the addition of new student records to a binary file named 2
"students.bin" and provide functionality to read and display all records. Each student record
must consist of a student ID, name, and grade. (16M)
6 a) Narrate the difference between formatted and unformatted I/O. Discuss its different CDL
functions. (8M) 1
b) Explain the role of seekg(), seekp(), tellg(), and tellp(), functions in the process of
random access in a binary file. (8 M)
7 Develop a C++ program utilizing sequential file access to manage and access a library CDL
catalog. Implement functionalities to maintain records of books, including attributes such as 2
book ID, title, author, and genre. Allow users to add new books to the catalog, search for
books by title or author, update book details, and delete books from the catalog. Utilize
sequential file operations to store and retrieve book information efficiently.
Ensure error handling and provide user-friendly interfaces for managing the library catalog.
(16M)
8 Develop a C++ program that reads a list of student names and their corresponding scores CDL
from a file named "students.txt". Sort the student data based on their scores in descending 2
order and write the sorted data to another file named "sorted_students.txt". (16M)
9 a) Explain the role of terminate() and unexpected() functions in exception handling with C+ CDL
+ program. (8M) 1
b) Develop the programs to get input two numbers and divide the first by the second and by
using exception handling to manage a divide-by-zero error. (8M)
10 Consider a scenario where a program needs to open and manipulate multiple files CDL
simultaneously. Design the exception handling mechanism to ensure proper resource 1
management and error recovery in such a scenario. (16M)
11 Develop a C++ program to implement complex number arithmetic using file handling. CDL
(16M) 1
12 Explore the implementation of exception handling mechanisms such as throw, catch, and CDL
rethrow in C++ programs, highlighting their significance in error management. (16M) 1
13 Consider a real-time application where critical sensor data is logged to a file. Design a CDL
comprehensive exception handling strategy for this application, considering potential errors 2
like disk full, file corruption, and unexpected sensor readings. Provide code snippets to
demonstrate the given approach. (16M)
14 Develop a C++ program for a simple text editor that allows users to create, edit, and save CDL
text documents. Implement file operations using file streams and include exception handling 2
for file I/O errors and memory allocation failures. (16M)
15 Write a C++ program using sequential file access to maintain and access employee payroll CDL
systems. The program should allow users to perform tasks such as 1
a. adding new Employee
b. displaying Employee information
c. updating records
d. deleting entries. (16M)
