## Challenge Overview:

You will use custom exception types in C++ to validate user input for age. Implement a function named `validateAge(int age)` that checks whether an age value is valid. An age is valid if it is between 0 and 150, inclusive. If the age is not within this range, your function must throw a custom exception called `InvalidAgeException`.

**Requirements:**
- Define a custom exception class named `InvalidAgeException` following C++ best practices;
- Implement the `validateAge(int age)` function to check the validity of the input;
- Throw `InvalidAgeException` if the age is less than 0 or greater than 150.

**Example:**

```cpp
try {
    validateAge(200); // Invalid age
} catch (const InvalidAgeException& e) {
    std::cout << "Caught exception: " << e.what() << std::endl;
}
```

You will gain hands-on experience with custom exception handling and input validation in C++.
