Learn Challenge: Array Access Guard | Introduction to Exceptions
C++ Exception Handling

bookChallenge: Array Access Guard

In this challenge, you will practice using exception handling to make array access safer. Your goal is to write a function that retrieves an element from a given array, but if the requested index is out of bounds, the function should throw an exception. This approach helps prevent undefined behavior and allows your code to handle errors gracefully.

Task

Swipe to start coding

You are tasked with making array access safer using exception handling. Implement a function that retrieves an element from a given array. If the requested index is out of bounds, the function should throw an exception instead of returning an invalid value. This helps prevent bugs and allows your code to respond to errors in a controlled way.

  • Write a function that takes a reference to a list of numbers and an index;
  • If the index is within the valid range, return the element at that position;
  • If the index is not valid, throw an exception with a clear message.
