Uhm a bit, well not really C++ but I'm sort of experienced with C#/Java, done a bit in C as well. You mean you just want to use a try-catch block? Put the code that may throw the error within a try { (...) } block, follow it with catch (Exception e) { (...) } where you put the handling for the error within the catch block. I'm not 100% sure if I used the right syntax for the "Exception e" part though.

It's the "catch(Exception e)" part that keeps returning a syntax error.

Fixed it now.
EDIT: Is there a way to test for what the exception is?

[Offkey]

Yeah, you can put multiple catch-blocks in succession, then specify the exception type between the parentheses, for example catch (IOException e) {} catch (NullReferenceException) {} and so on.

If the action for the "default:" value of a case statement, is  - throw "insertsomethinghere"; how do I catch one of those?

[Offkey]

Uhm, for throwing errors, usually something like "throw new Exception()" is used right? You can then just catch the type of Exception specified there, in this case its just a general one but it can be specific as well.

Thanks, Offkey. It's all good now!

Yay Glad I could help ^_^

So work has pretty much consumed most of my time. Won't be doing much later on in the week.

Don't worry, UGC, I'll have the stuff ready by this weekend as promised.

@Brassman: Thank you.

In the catch block do "System.outPrintLn(e.toString)" or whatever the print is.  There is something better than just printing to a String, but I forget.

[Offkey]

You mean e.printStackTrace()? That way you get a bit more info about why the error was thrown.

Hey, does anyone know which 3 songs from SMG Koji Kondo did? I remember hearing Koji did 3, Mahito Yokota (is it?) did the rest.

Also, unrelated, has anyone seen Maretocks lately?

Yea that's what I was thinking of.  Just print that out.  Or whatever you named the exception.

Right now, outside, everything is pure yellow. That never happens.
