Question

I’m looking for a way to switch between an if and an else block when an error occurs. For example:

cout << "Enter 1 or 2 as your choice...";
cin >> choice;

if(choice==1) {

//do something here

//if error occurs....

} else if(choice==2) {

//switch to this else block

}

I’ve played around with try/throw/catch but it appears that the catch has to follow the try statement. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!

Looks like you could just not have an “else”:

int error = 0;

if( choice==1 ) {

    // Something happens
    error = 1;

}
if( error == 1 || choice == 2 ) {
    // Do things
}
