Compile Error

[laoniu gougou]

Can anybody explain to me why the compile fail:

public class ThrowsDemo {
static void throwMethod() {
System.out.println("Inside throwMethod.");
throw new IllegalAccessException("demo");
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
throwMethod();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
System.out.println("Caught " + e);
}
}
}

You should indicate that your function might throw an exception
using the throws clause

 static void throwMethod() throws IllegalAccessException 
{
System.out.println("Inside throwMethod.");
throw new IllegalAccessException("demo");
}

LHS
