C++ User-Defined Exceptions
The new exception can be defined by overriding and inheriting exception
 class functionality.
C++ user-defined exception example
Let's see the simple example of user-defined exception in which 
std::exception class is used to define the exception.

#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
using namespace std;
class MyException : public exception{
    public:
        const char * what() const throw()
        {
            return "Attempted to divide by zero!\n";
        }
};
int main()
{
    try
    {
        int x, y;
        cout << "Enter the two numbers : \n";
        cin >> x >> y;
        if (y == 0)
        {
            MyException z;
            throw z;
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "x / y = " << x/y << endl;
        }
    }
    catch(exception& e)
    {
        cout << e.what();
    }
}

Output:

Enter the two numbers :
10
2
x / y = 5  

Output:

Enter the two numbers :
10
0
Attempted to divide by zero!

Note: In above example what() is a public method provided by the exception class. It is used to return the cause of an exception.
