marks using single inheritance.
4. What is a constructor? How do we invoke a constructor function?
5. Describe the importance of destructors.

2. Describe the following functions with their syntax for text files:
○ open()
○ close()
○ read()
○ write()
3. Write a C++ program to create a text file, check if it was created, and if so, write some text
into it and then read the text from the file.
4. Write a note on I/O streams.
5. What are the various types of files? What are the various modes in which a file can be
opened? Explain with an example program.
6. Explain the uses of ifstream and ofstream classes for file input and output.

Module 5
1. Define exception handling. Explain the exception-handling mechanism.
2. Explain the throwing and catching mechanism in exception handling.
3. Discuss "catch-all" exceptions with syntax and a suitable example program.
4. Write a function that throws a division-by-zero exception and catch it in a catch block.
5. Write a C++ program to demonstrate the usage of try, catch, and throw to handle
exceptions.
6. Define exceptions. Explain different blocks of exception handling.
7. Write a function that throws a division-by-zero exception and catch it in a catch block. Write
a C++ program to demonstrate the usage of try, catch, and throw to handle exceptions.
8. Discuss catching class type as an exception and rethrowing exceptions. Write a C++
program function that handles an array-of-bounds exception using exception handling.
