try{int x = 0;
cin>> x;
if ( x > 100)
  throw 1;
else
  cout<< “Good data”<< endl;
}
catch (int i)
{
  cout<< “Exception “<< i << “thrown”<< endl;
}

I need to know why the catch is int i & not int x?

I need to know why the catch is int i & not int x?

Because i is the 'name' of the exception thrown, and x is the variable name used to store your input data. You could call your exception e or something else, but it shouldn't be the same as the variable you use to store the user's input.
