Talk:Exception handling syntax

Hi,

there is a followin snippet of pseudocode in Exception handling:

try {
 line = console.readLine();
 if (line.length() == 0) {
  throw new EmptyLineException("The line read from console was empty!");
 }
 console.printLine("Hello %s!" % line);
} catch (EmptyLineException e) {
 console.printLine("Hello!");
} catch (Exception e) {
 console.printLine("Error: " + e.message());
} else {
 console.printLine("The program ran successfully");
} finally {
 console.printLine("The program terminates now");
}

in indicates that a program can act in some way when everything went successfully and in a different way if something was broken. I am missing in my knowledge how to make that "if error {} else {}". Could you, please, extend and edit this article (at least for C++) so I can learn how to implement it really? Thank you in advance!
