Exception Handling!!!

[Mark Henryson]

class Exc2
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
      int d,a;
      try
      {
          d = 0; 
          a = 42/d;
          int c[] = {1};
          c[40]  = 99;
      }
      
      catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e)
      {
          System.out.println(e);
//        e.printStackTrace();
      }   
      
      catch(ArithmeticException e)
      {
          System.out.println(e);
//         e.printStackTrace();
      }   
     
      System.out.println("After Catch Statement");
  } 
}

In the above coding, why the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is not invoking. Only the ArithmeticException is called. Why???

output:
--------
java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
After Catch Statement

What happened to ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Thats because in above code the ArithmeticException occurs before the code reaches to ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. I mean as the ArithmeticException occured at line: a = 42/d; the remaining code wont be executed and directly goes into catch(ArithmeticException e){} block. Hope you understood.

Because arithmetic exception is first exception, after this exception the flow continues in catch(ArithmeticException e) block. The code c[40] = 99; is never reached in this case.
