<stdexcept>

Defines several standard classes used for reporting exceptions. The classes form a derivation hierarchy all derived from class exception and include two general types of exceptions: logical errors and run-time errors. The logical errors are caused programmer mistakes. They derive from the base class logic_error and include:

• domain_error

• invalid_argument

• length_error

• out_of_range

The run-time errors occur because of mistakes in either the library functions or in the run-time system. They derive from the base class runtime_error and include:

• overflow_error

• range_error

• underflow_error

Classes

domain_error Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report a domain error.
invalid_argument Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an invalid argument.
length_error Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an attempt to generate an object too long to be specified.
logic_error Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report errors presumably detectable before the program executes, such as violations of logical preconditions.
out_of_range Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an argument that is out of its valid range.
overflow_error Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an arithmetic overflow.
range_error Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report a range error.
runtime_error Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report errors presumably detectable only when the program executes.
underflow_error Class	The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an arithmetic underflow.
