C++ Exceptions - Is throwing c-string as an exception bad?

Question

I am working on a small c++ program and learning exceptions. Is the following code \"bad\", and if so, what can I do to improve it?

try {
    // code
    if          


        

Answer 1

I think this is much more simpler. :).

#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

int main() {
    try {
        throw runtime_error("This is an Error"); 
    }catch (exception& e){
        cout << "Exception: " << e.what() << endl; 
    }
    return 0; 
}
