This lecture covers the management of errors and exceptions in C++. It starts by explaining the objectives of the course, which include learning how to anticipate and handle errors in programs, using exceptions, finding and correcting errors, and using a debugger. The lecture then delves into the concept of exceptions, their advantages over error codes, and the syntax for handling exceptions in C++. It also discusses the importance of debugging tools like gdb for locating errors and executing programs step by step. The examples provided illustrate the practical application of exception handling and debugging techniques, emphasizing the importance of making code more robust and easier to debug.
