C# Programming - Exceptions & Normalization

     The C# language exception handling features provide a way to deal with any unexpected or exceptional situations that arise while debugging.

Use try, catch, and finally keywords.

     Using catch, try, and finally keywords to handle runtime and debugging failures, and to clean up resources. Generated by common-language-runtime (CLR). In this example, a method tests for a division by zero (DivisionbyZero), was unhandled, error.


int SafeDivision (int x, int y)
   {
     try
       {
          return (x / y);
       }
          catch (System.DividebyZeroException dbz)
          {
          System.Console.WriteLine("Division by zero attempted!");
           return 0;
           }
      }

C# Normalization


Returns a new string whose textual value is the same as this string, but whose binary representation is in the specified Unicode normalization form.

This example produces the following results:

U+0301 = COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
U+0327 = COMBINING CEDILLA
U+00BE = VULGAR FRACTION THREE QUARTERS

A1) Is s1 normalized to the default form (Form C)?: False
A2) Is s1 normalized to Form C?:  False
A3) Is s1 normalized to Form D?:  False
A4) Is s1 normalized to Form KC?: False
A5) Is s1 normalized to Form KD?: False

Set string s2 to each normalized form of string s1.

B1) Is s2 normalized to the default form (Form C)?: True
Characters in string s2 = 1E09 00BE

B2) Is s2 normalized to Form C?: True
Characters in string s2 = 1E09 00BE

B3) Is s2 normalized to Form D?: True
