if error occures, such as int out flow or string left bound less than 1, can i somehow, stop the program from shuting down and jsut skip this part by using "return" or "exit"?? can i detect error in turing before it shuts down and do something to it?

you'd probably have to error trap that by first checking if the number is small enough to not allow an overflow (such as if you're *=2 then make sure the number is <(maxint/2)

check what kind of bounds you're using for your string...

Just try to get into a habbit of now allowing such events to occur, and if that is out of your control, then error trap that

if you can make something that detects error and stop the program before it crashes, then you are good enough to make a program that doesn't crash.
