throw coding code example
Example 1: importance of throws keyword in java
Throws statement is used at the end of method signature to indicate that
an exception of a given type may be thrown from the method.
The main purpose of throws keyword is to delegate responsibility of
exception handling to the caller methods, in the case of checked exception.
In the case of unchecked exceptions, it is not required to use throws keyword.
We can use throws keyword only for throwable types otherwise compile time error
saying incompatible types.
An error is unchecked, it is not required to handle by try catch or by throws.
Syntax : Class Test{
Public static void main(String args[]) throws IE{
}}
The method should throw only checked exceptions and subclasses
of checked exceptions. It is not recommended to specify exception
superclasses in the throws class when the actual exceptions thrown in
the method are instances of their subclass.
Example 2: throw keyword
Generally JVM throws the exception and
we handle the exceptions by
using try catch block. But there are
situations where we have to throw
userdefined exceptions or runtime exceptions.
In such case we use throw keyword
to throw exception explicitly.
Syntax : throw throwableInstance;
