Exceptions handling problems

[dub4theworld]

I am attempting to alter a Blackjack game so that the game throws an exception and repopulates the deck when their are less than 3 cards per player. I am pretty sure I am on the right track but after 3 hours of trial and error I am still unable top get it to compile. Any and all help is appreciated.

// This is the beginning Deck sub-class
class Deck : public Hand
{
public:
    Deck();
    
    virtual ~Deck();

    //create a standard deck of 52 cards
    void Populate();

    //shuffle cards
    void Shuffle();

    //deal one card to a hand
    void Deal(Hand& aHand);

    //give additional cards to a generic player 
    void AdditionalCards(GenericPlayer& aGenericPlayer);
    
    //checklevel function
    void checklevel();
};

Deck::Deck()
{ 
    m_Cards.reserve(52);
    Populate();
}

Deck::~Deck()
{}

void Deck::Populate()
{
    Clear();
    //create standard deck
    for (int s = Card::CLUBS; s <= Card::SPADES; ++s)
            for (int r = Card::ACE; r <= Card::KING; ++r)
                Add(new Card(static_cast<Card::rank>(r), static_cast<Card::suit>(s)));
}

void Deck::Shuffle()
{
    random_shuffle(m_Cards.begin(), m_Cards.end());
}

void Deck::Deal(Hand& aHand)
{
    if (!m_Cards.empty())
    {
        aHand.Add(m_Cards.back());
        m_Cards.pop_back();
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "Out of cards. Unable to deal.";
    }
}

void Deck::AdditionalCards(GenericPlayer& aGenericPlayer)
{
    cout << endl;
    //continue to deal a card as long as generic player isn't busted and
    //wants another hit
    while ( !(aGenericPlayer.IsBusted()) && aGenericPlayer.IsHitting() )
    {
        Deal(aGenericPlayer);
        cout << aGenericPlayer << endl;
        
        if (aGenericPlayer.IsBusted())
            aGenericPlayer.Bust();
    }
}

//Beginning of code that concerns the exceptions handling in question. checklevel() takes the number of players entered in the main() and multiplies it by the minimum number of cards(3). If it is greater than or equal to the number of cards left in the deck the game deals again, if not then it repopulates the deck.

void Deck::checklevel()
{
     int numPlayers = 0;
     const int minCards = 3; 
     int remaining = count(m_Cards.begin(), m_Cards.end(), !0);
     if(numPlayers * minCards >= remaining)
     {
                   Populate();
                   throw "Too few cards remaining in the deck. Repopulating the deck.";
     }
}

    char again = 'y';
    while (again != 'n' && again != 'N')
    {
       
// beginning of the try, catch blocks. Play() is invoked and if there is not 3 cards for each player in the deck, the getlevel() throws an exception, which is caught and the game loop begins again.
try
        {
        aGame.Play();
        }
        catch(char * s)
        {
                   cout << s << endl;
        }
                   
        cout << "\nDo you want to play again? (Y/N): ";
        cin >> again;
    } 

    return 0;

I did my best to take out whatever was not relevant, but I included the whole code as an attachment just in case. Thank in advance.

Post down the errors that you are getting.

btw

catch(char * s)

I think that should be catch (const char *s)
