Study Notes
Exception Handling
- Exception handling is used to handle error conditions that occur during the execution of a method.
- There are five keywords used in exception handling: try, catch, throw, throws, and finally.
What is an Exception?
- An exception is an event that occurs during the execution of a program, interrupting the normal flow of the program's instructions.
- Exceptions are generated when a recognized error condition arises during the execution of a method.
- Java includes a system for running exceptions, tracking the potential for each method to throw specific exceptions.
Types of Errors
- There are two types of errors: compile-time errors and run-time errors.
- Compile-time errors are syntax errors identified by the Java compiler during compilation.
- Run-time errors occur during the execution of a program.
Exception Handling Mechanism
- The exception handling mechanism involves try, catch, and finally blocks.
- Try block: contains the "risky" code that may throw an exception.
- Catch block: used to catch and handle the exception.
- Finally block: used to guarantee the execution of code regardless of whether an exception is thrown.
Throwing Exceptions
- There are two ways to throw an exception: using the throw statement and using the throws statement.
- The throw statement is used to explicitly throw an exception.
- The throws statement is used to declare that a method may throw an exception.
Creating and Using Your Own Exception Classes
- You can create and use your own exception classes to handle specific exceptions.
Objectives
- Learn the exception handling mechanism.
- Write try-catch structures to catch expected exceptions.
- Use finally blocks to guarantee execution of code.
