Poor Coding Style
Poor Coding Style
Throwing more than three or four types of exceptions is considered poor coding style.
Purpose of Finally block
Purpose of Finally block
A finally
block executes code that is necessary regardless of whether an exception was thrown.
Rethrowing Exception
Rethrowing Exception
When an exception is rethrown, it propagates up the call stack to be caught by a higher-level handler.

Study Notes
Handling Exceptions
- Exceptions are thrown by the program using the
throw
keyword. - When methods from other classes throw exceptions, methods do not have to catch them, and the calling program can catch them.
Creating Multiple Exceptions
- Multiple statements can be placed within a
try
block. - Only the first error-generating statement throws an exception.
- Multiple
catch
blocks are examined in sequence until a match is found for the exception that occurred. - Various exceptions can be handled by the same
catch
block. - The order of placement is important, with the most specific exception first and the most generic last.
Order of Placement
catch
clauses should be placed from most specific to most generic.- The
Exception
class should always be placed last.
Handling Multiple Exceptions
- Multiple exceptions can be handled in a single
try
-catch
block. - Each
catch
block should handle a specific type of exception.
Best Practices
- It is poor coding style for a method to throw more than three or four types of exceptions.
- Methods should not try to accomplish too many diverse tasks.
- Exception types thrown should be generalized.
- Unreachable blocks contain statements that can never execute under any circumstances.
User-Defined Exception Classes
- Constructors can be used to create custom exception classes.
- Custom exceptions can be used in a class to handle specific error conditions.
Rethrowing the Exception
- The method that catches an exception does not have to handle it.
- Within a
catch
block, the exception can be rethrown using thethrow
keyword with no object after it. - This allows the calling method to handle the problem.
Throwing an Exception
- An exception object is instantiated when an exceptional condition occurs.
- The exception object can be thrown using the
throw
keyword. - Exceptions should be used for infrequent conditions that occur in the program.
