1. Constness, Exceptions and other
stuff

2. Const pointers
• const int i
• const int* i
• int const* i
• int* const i;

3. Const references
• const int& i
• int const& i

4. Const methods
• void foo() const
• Only methods can be const
• Static methods can’t be const
• mutable members

5. Explicit constructors
• Implicit type casting
• It can be bad in some cases
• Explicit constructors

6. Exceptions
• It should be preferred over return codes
• Exceptions should be caught as high as
possible
• Wildcard catch
• Do not ignore exceptions

7. Catching by reference
• Prefer to catch exceptions by reference
• Reference should be const unless you want to
edit exception
• You can catch derived exceptions by reference
to base exception

8. Standard exceptions
• exception
• runtime_error
• range_error, overflow_error, underflow_error,
system_error
• logic_error
• domain_error, invalid_argument, length_error,
out_of_range
