Java Exception Handling Basics

Exception handling in Java is a mechanism to manage runtime errors, allowing the program to continue its normal flow. It involves using try-catch blocks to handle exceptions, with a finally block for code that must execute regardless of exceptions. Additionally, 'throw' is used to explicitly throw exceptions, while 'throws' declares exceptions that a method may throw, requiring the caller to handle them.

Exception Handling

Java
What is Exception Handling?
Exception :- an abnormal condition that occurs at runtime and
disrupts the normal flow of the program.

Q.) What happens if we divide by zero


?
Q.) What if file is not present ?
Exception handling is a mechanism to handle
runtime errors, allowing the normal flow of a
program to continue. Exceptions are events that
occur during program execution that disrupt the
normal flow of instructions.
Basic try-catch Example

•The try block contains code that might throw an exception,

•The catch block handles the exception if it occurs.


Finally Block

The finally block always executed whether an exception is thrown or not.


The finally is used for closing resources like db connections, open files
and network connections, It is used after a try-catch block to execute
code that must run.
throw and
throws
1. Throw : Used to explicitly throw a single exception. We use throw when
something goes wrong (or “shouldn’t happen”) and we want to stop normal flow
and hand control to exception handling.
2. Throws : Declares exceptions that a method might
throw, informing the caller to handle them. It is mainly used
with checked exceptions (explained below). If a method
calls another method that throws a checked exception, and
it doesn’t catch it, it must declare that exception in
its throws clause
Nested try-catch
In Java, you can place one try-catch block inside another to handle
exceptions at multiple levels.
