I have a try and catch block around where I try to create the foo, but I am still having some trouble.

Inside some of his methods in the foo class, he has stuff like:


throw throw_me_when_out_of_room;

baz throw_me_when_out_of_room = new baz_out_of_memory();


Where are the baz_out_of_memory, etc. classes defined. Are we supposed to define them ourselves?

Thanks,
Natalie

: i figured it out. its just basic exception handling.

: you need to use try and catch when creating a foo, but the catch statement has to accept a baz argument.

: see
: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/tut5-3.html for a good overview.

:
: : i'm in the same boat.

: : i just tried using the baz and foo examples which weiren provided, and when creating a foo with the foo constructor, it checks to see if you can create it with magic_bad_arg_check, and if it fails that check, baz throws a flag.

: : the problem is, i have no idea how to check what flag baz throws.

: : on top of that, the program just stops running when such a flag is thrown and echos "Aborted" to the console, at least when i try it.

: : surely we aren't the only two having this problem...

:
: : : Yo...
: : : What's up on baz.h ????
: : : This makes no sense....not to mention the fact that the file has changed a couple of times already in the last 24 hours.

: : : It seems like we are supposed to catch his baz in our foo handler to see if one of 4 different errors occurs. Further, it seems like his existence counter of 100 is likely to change, and thus he wants us to catch his generic baz, instead of hard-coding in a test for 100 foo instances. However, there is no explanation anywhere of how to test which baz is thrown, or even what some of them do....I don't have a clue what to do with the first and last one...
: : : Can anyone enlighten me? Does anyone have something in their foohandler that will correctly catch the different baz's ? Are we supposed to modify baz.h ourselves?

: : : Thanks in advance.
