In my code, I need to enhance the List class to throw an exception whenever an error occurs. I need to use exception specifications for all functions. I know it would be something like
if ....
throw (OutOfRangeException)
I am just not sure where and how to incorporate this. Please help explain this and where and how this would go in my functions.
