C++ Developer - Section Overview - Exceptions and Debugging

The video tutorial introduces the concept of exceptions in programming, explaining that they represent unusual situations that can occur in code or its environment. It covers the importance of exception handling for creating robust software that can handle errors gracefully. The tutorial also delves into the syntax and techniques for working with exceptions, including built-in and custom exceptions, and touches on inheritance as a principle of object-oriented programming. Practical projects are introduced to apply these concepts, such as ensuring percentage values in a grading application and preventing a Starship's warp drive from overheating. The tutorial concludes with a preview of the next lecture on exceptions and their hierarchy.
