Study Notes
Introduction to Exceptions
- An Exception is a problem that occurs during program execution, like dividing by zero.
- Exception handling allows programmers to create applications that can resolve exceptions, leading to more stable programs.
Exception-Handling Overview
- Exception handling is used to process synchronous errors, which occur when a statement executes.
- Examples of synchronous errors include:
- Memory errors (e.g., incorrectly allocated memory, memory leaks, "null pointer")
- File system errors (e.g., disk is full, disk has been removed)
- Network errors (e.g., connection issues)
###Â Exception Handling Structure
- try: Contains code that may throw an exception.
- catch: Handles specific exceptions.
- It executes if the corresponding exception is thrown within the 'try' block.
- finally: Always executes, regardless of whether an exception occurs.
- Useful for releasing resources (e.g., closing files) to prevent resource leaks.
Example: Divide By Zero
- The provided Java code demonstrates exception handling with a "Divide by Zero" example.
- The code contains a
quotientmethod that throws anArithmeticExceptionwhen a division by zero is attempted. - The
actionPerformedmethod handles potentialNumberFormatExceptionandArithmeticExceptionerrors.
###Â Exception Hierarchy in Java
Throwableis the superclass of all exception classes.Exceptionis a subclass ofThrowableand represents exceptional situations that can be caught by the application.- A subclass of
Exception(e.g.,ArithmeticException) represents specific types of exceptions.
