Exception Handling

Java exceptions represent errors that occur during runtime. There are two types of exceptions - checked exceptions which are verified at compile time and unchecked exceptions which are verified at runtime. Checked exceptions inherit from Throwable while unchecked exceptions inherit from RuntimeException. Errors are irrecoverable and represent failures in the Java virtual machine. Exceptions are handled using try, catch, throw and throws keywords.

• An exception is an abnormal condition that arises in a code sequence at

run time.
• A Java exception is an object that describes an exceptional (that is, error)
• When an exceptional condition arises, an object representing that
exception is created and thrown in the method that caused the error.
• Java exception handling is managed via five keywords: try, catch, throw,
throws, and finally.
• If an exception occurs within the try block, it is thrown. Your code can
catch this exception (using catch) and handle it in some rational manner.
Types of Java Exceptions:

Two types of exceptions: checked and unchecked.

Check Exception:
The classes that directly inherit the Throwable class except RuntimeException and Error are
known as checked exceptions. For example, IOException, SQLException, etc. Checked
exceptions are checked at compile-time.

Unchecked Exception
The classes that inherit the RuntimeException are known as unchecked exceptions. For
example, ArithmeticException, NullPointerException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, etc.
Unchecked exceptions are not checked at compile-time, but they are checked at runtime.

Error
• Error is irrecoverable. Some example of errors are OutOfMemoryError, VirtualMachineError,
AssertionError etc.
Errors:
Compile Time Error: Syntactical Errors found in the code. It results in
Compile Time Error.
• Detecting Compile Time Errors is Easy ,as Java displays list of errors
along with time in description.

Run Time Errors:


It represents inefficiency of Computer System to execute particular
statement.
This errors are detected during Runtime but not during Compile Time.
Logical Errors:
• It shows Flaws in the Program. Programmer might represents wrong
Logic for the program.
General form:
• When the Java run-time system detects the attempt to divide by zero, it
constructs a new exception object and then throws this exception.
• This causes the execution of Exc0 to stop, because once an exception has
been thrown, it must be caught by an exception handler and dealt with
immediately.
• The exception is caught by the default handler provided by the Java run-
time system.
• The default handler displays a string describing the exception, prints a stack
trace from the point at which the exception occurred, and terminates the
program.
• Java supplies several built-in exception types that match the various
sorts of run-time errors that can be generated.
• Stack trace from the default exception handler shows how the entire call
stack is displayed

• Call stack is quite useful for debugging, because it pinpoints the precise
sequence of steps that led to the error.
• You will usually want to handle an exception yourself. Doing so
provides two benefits.
• It allows you to fix the error.
• It prevents the program from automatically terminating.
•
• It will cause ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception
Nested Try Ststements
• A try statement can be inside the block of another try. Each time a try
statement is entered, the context of that exception is pushed on the
stack.
• To manually throw an exception, use the keyword throw. Any exception that is
thrown out of a method must be specified as such by a throws clause.
• It is possible for your program to throw an exception explicitly, using the throw
statement.
• The general form of throw is shown here:
throw ThrowableInstance;
• ThrowableInstance must be an object of type Throwable or a subclass of
Throwable.
• There are two ways you can obtain a Throwable object:
Using a parameter into a catch clause
Creating one with the new operator.
