    Study Notes

    Exception Handling in Java

    • An exception in Java is an event that occurs during the execution of a program that disrupts the normal flow of instructions.
    • The difference between an error and an exception in Java is that an error is a programming bug, while an exception is a runtime problem that can be handled by the program.

    Try-Catch Block

    • The try keyword is used to start a try block in Java.
    • The catch keyword is used to catch and handle exceptions in Java.
    • The finally block is used to specify a block of code that will always be executed, regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not.

    Throwing Exceptions

    • The throw keyword is used to explicitly throw an exception in Java.
    • The throws keyword is used to specify that a method can throw an exception.
    • Custom exceptions can be thrown using the throw keyword.

    Purpose of Blocks

    • The purpose of the try block is to enclose a set of statements that may throw an exception.
    • The purpose of the catch block is to handle the exception thrown by the try block.
    • The purpose of the finally block is to perform any necessary cleanup or finalization.

    Multiple Catch Blocks

    • A single try block can have multiple catch blocks.
    • The syntax for declaring multiple catch blocks is catch (Exception1 e1) { } catch (Exception2 e2) { }.

    Generic Catch Block

    • A generic catch block is used to catch all types of exceptions.
    • The purpose of a generic catch block is to handle any unexpected exceptions.

    Types of Exceptions

    • Checked exceptions arise during compilation time.
    • Runtime exceptions arise during runtime.
    • ArithmeticException is thrown when dividing a number by zero.

    Handling Exceptions

    • The purpose of exception handling in Java is to provide a way to handle runtime errors.
    • If an exception occurs and there is no exception handler of the same type, the program will terminate.
    • If an exception is not handled properly in Java, the program will crash.
