b. Only 1, 2, 3
c. Only 1, 4
d. Only 1, 2
View Answer / Hide Answer6. A try block can be nested under another try block –

b. No
View Answer / Hide Answer7. In nested try blocks, there is no need to specify catch handler for inner try block. Outer catch handler is sufficient for the program.
a. True
b. False
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: b. False
Explanation: For every try block, there must be at least one catch hander. Otherwise, compiler will generate error.

b. False
View Answer / Hide Answer11. Generic catch handler is represented by ______________

a. Defining multiple try and catch block inside a function
b. Defining generic function within try block
c. Defining function with throw clause
d. It is not possible in CPP to restrict a function
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: c. Defining function with throw clause
