What happens when I throw an exception?

Question

I have some technical questions. In this function:

string report() const {
    if(list.begin() == list.end()){
        throw \"not good\";
    }
    //do somethi         


        

Answer 1

If you throw an exception, all functions will be exited back to the point where it finds a try...catch block with a matching catch type. If your function isn't called from within a try block, the program will exit with an unhandled exception.
