Hi out there,

this is my first posting this group and I'm in the beginner state of learnig
C++.

Since Constructors do not return any value on completion how can I react
on error conditions while executing the Constructor i.e what to do if I want
to create an Integer in the range 34..59 via Construktor parameter and that
parameter is out of that range ?

One solution may be to introduce an additional out parameter reflecting
the end state of the execution; but this seems not very smart to me. 

Hope someone can help me ...

Gerd
