  2. Exception handling (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling...

    For example, an addition may produce an arithmetic overflow (it does not fulfill its contract of computing a good approximation to the mathematical sum); or a routine may fail to meet its postcondition. Exception: an abnormal event occurring during the execution of a routine (that routine is the "recipient" of

  3. Exception handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling

    Social pressure is a major influence on the scope of exceptions and use of exception-handling mechanisms, i.e. "examples of use, typically found in core libraries, and code examples in technical books, magazine articles, and online discussion forums, and in an organization’s code standards".

  4. Error hiding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_hiding

    In this C# example, all exceptions are caught regardless of type, and a new generic exception is thrown, keeping only the message of the original exception. The original stacktrace is lost, along with the type of the original exception, any exception for which the original exception was a wrapper, and any other information captured in the ...

  5. Exception chaining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_chaining

    Exception chaining, or exception wrapping, is an object-oriented programming technique of handling exceptions by re-throwing a caught exception after wrapping it inside a new exception. The original exception is saved as a property (such as cause) of the new exception. The idea is that a method should throw exceptions defined at the same ...

  6. Exception handling syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling_syntax

    C does not provide direct support to exception handling: it is the programmer's responsibility to prevent errors in the first place and test return values from the functions.

  7. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    In computing, a roundoff error, [1] also called rounding error, [2] is the difference between the result produced by a given algorithm using exact arithmetic and the result produced by the same algorithm using finite-precision, rounded arithmetic. [3]

  8. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    The register width of a processor determines the range of values that can be represented in its registers. Though the vast majority of computers can perform multiple-precision arithmetic on operands in memory, allowing numbers to be arbitrarily long and overflow to be avoided, the register width limits the sizes of numbers that can be operated on (e.g., added or subtracted) using a single ...

  9. Java performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_performance

    For example, when comparing with Java 5.0: 32- and 64-bit arithmetic operations, [48] [49] file input/output, [50] and exception handling [51] have a similar performance to comparable C++ programs; Operations on arrays [52] have better performance in C. The performance of trigonometric functions is much better in C. [53]
