+# Examples
+
+This project includes the following two examples:
+
+- [`print_hex.cpp`](./print_hex.cpp):
+  Prints the hexadecimal representation of the given number.
+  This code returns an error if the provided input is not a number.
+  This example demonstrates the basic flow of error handling and how to return an error object from a function.
+
+- [`read_file.cpp`](./read_file.cpp):
+  Reads a file from the given path and prints its content.
+  This code returns an error if it fails to open the file.
+  This example illustrates the same error handling flow but with examples of how to create an error object with a formatted message.
