Create a class with a main( ) that throws an object of class Exception inside a try block.
Give the constructor for Exception a String argument.
Catch the exception inside a catch clause and print the String argument.
Add a finally clause and print a message to prove you were there.
Please give the solution for the same."Please explain how to use Exception constructor".

Welcome to the Ranch!

On JavaRanch, we help people to learn Java. The point of homework is that you learn Java by doing it yourself. You don't learn anything by letting other people do your homework. So, we are not going to give you the complete solution for this assignment just like that. Have you tried writing a program for this assignment already yourself? Show us your code. Explain in detail where exactly you get stuck, and we'll help you with that.

If your question is specifically about the sentence "Give the constructor for Exception a String argument": An Exception is just another class that you can create instances of using the new operator. You're supposed to create a new Exception object, passing a string to the constructor, and then throw the exception. Like this:

FirstException(String msg)
{
msg="this is bound to execute";
System.out.println(msg);
}
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception
{
try
{
throw new Exception();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

If you read the error text carefully, you will notice it is referring to the variable "msg"
What is msg? Have you defined it anywhere? (Hint)
