C++ In a Nutshell

<stdexcept>

The <stdexcept> header defines several standard exception classes. (Refer to <exception> for the base exception class.) Figure 13-24 shows all the exception classes in the standard library, including a few that are declared in other headers. Note that the standard library has very few places that throw exceptions. The exceptions in <stdexcept> are available primarily for your use.

See Chapter 3 for more information about throw expressions and Chapter 4 for information about handling exceptions with try statements.
