I'm having a small issue with my code. For some reason, when I try to throw a string with the code below, I get an error in Visual Studio.
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char input;
cout << "\n\nWould you like to input? (y/n): ";
cin >> input;
input = tolower(input);
try
{
if (input != 'y')
{
throw ("exception ! error");
}
}
catch (string e)
{
cout << e << endl;
}
}
Error :
You are currently throwing a const char*
and not a std::string
, instead you should be throwing string("error")
edit: the error is resolved with
throw string("exception ! error");
