Exception Handling Basics in Java

The document discusses exception handling in software engineering, defining exceptions as anomalous conditions that require special processing. It explains the try-catch-finally structure used to manage exceptions in programming, particularly in Java, along with examples of handling specific exceptions. Additionally, it introduces the try-with-resources statement for automatic resource management in Java 7 and later versions.

Exception Handling

PS Software Engineering
Some basics
• Exception
–anomalous or exceptional conditions
requiring special processing
• Exception handling
–process of responding to the occurrence
of exceptions; often changing the
normal flow of program execution

• Lisp (1960s,1970s)

Try – catch - finally

try {
// main logic, uses methods that may throw Exceptions ......
} catch (Exception1 ex) {
// error handler for Exception1 ......
} catch (Exception2 ex) {
// error handler for Exception2 ......
} finally {
// finally is optional
// clean up codes, always executed regardless of exceptions ......
}

private void doSomething() {


if (problem) {
throw new RuntimeException(“Problem Xyz”);

private void doSomethingElse() {


try {

}
The try-with-resources statement
(Java >= 7)

static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException {


try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path))) {
return [Link]();
}
}

static String readFirstLineFromFileWithFinallyBlock(String path) throws IOException {


BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
try {
return [Link]();
} finally {
if (br != null) [Link]();
}
}
