Eception Issue..........

[deepu Bhalotia]

class A {
public static void main (String[] args) {
Object error = new Error();
Object runtimeException = new RuntimeException();
System.out.print((error instanceof Exception) + ",");
System.out.print(runtimeException instanceof Exception);
}}

Hi
Can you Explain me about Statement....
Object error = new Error();

Here Error class is a Direct Subclass of Throwable.....So how can Object be the Superclass of Error...


Thanks in Advance....
Deepak

Error class is a Direct Subclass of Throwable

Which is a subclass of ...?

[deepu Bhalotia]

Timmy
Can you tell me the Hierarchy...

[S.L.Narayanan]

Deepu

This is the hierarchy...

java.lang.Object
|
java.lang.Throwable
|
java.lang.Error


So regardless of whatever the class be, they are the subclass of Object in java. So you can assign object of any class to the reference holder of type java.lang.Object. Clear?

[Timmy Marks]

from the javadoc:

java.lang
Class Error
java.lang.Object
java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Error


Google can be your friend.

Deepu,

I find it very helpful to have a local copy of the Java API in HTML form. You can easily download it from J2SE API.
