13. Exception Object

• Exception is an object encapsulating information about exception.

• Flow of events goes like this:

  1. Exception (error) occurs.

  2. Execution of the current operation is abandoned.

  3. Exception object is constructed and initialized with parameters describing the error.

  4. A search for exception handler is performed.

  5. Each exception handler designates an exception type that it handles.

  6. Exception handler is executed.

  7. Upon completion of exception handler, normal execution is restored.
