Handling means, you are handling the exception rather than let some one to handle. And declaring means, you are declaring the this method will throw exceptions, and the the user's responsibility to handle that exception!

Does this make sense?

sir,


could you please tell me the meaning of the following code:

1.
class TestExt{
void doStuff(){
throw new MyException();
}
}

My questions are:
a) what is the meaning of "throw new MyException()"?
b) Do we require MyException class in hand before writing the class TestExt ?


2.
class MyException extends Exception{
void doStuff() throws MyException{
try{
throw new MyException();
}catch(MyException me){}
}
}

MY question is:
a) what is the meaning of "void doStuff() throws MyException" ? why throws MyException is attached with method?
b) what is the meaning of " throw new MyException()" in try block?

a) what is the meaning of "throw new MyException()"?


  • throw is keyword in java used to throw either exceptions or errors
  • new is used to create a new object
  • MyException is our user defined exception as we are extending the Exception class

  • b) Do we require MyException class in hand before writing the class TestExt ?


    There is no need to write the MyException class before the TestEx class



    a) what is the meaning of "void doStuff() throws MyException" ? why throws MyException is attached with method?


  • throws is a keyword that says "the method or the init block can throw exception"
  • void doStuff throws MyException means "dostuff method CAN throw MyException i.e. doStuff code can cause MyException"

  • writing above means we are declaring the exception

    and writing the code in try catch block means handling the exception

    hope this helps
