CPP Module 05 - C++ Fundamentals

This is the sixth of ten introductory modules on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C++.

Core concepts explored in this module include:

• Exceptions
• try / catch / throw
• Exception propagation
  • when an exception is thrown and not caught locally, it moves up the call stack looking for a matching catch; if none is found, the program terminates.
• RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization) interactyion with exceptions
  • RAII objects automatically clean up in their destructors.
• Stack unwinding
  • when an exception propagates upward, the runtime destroys all objects with automatic storage in each stack frame it exits.
