regardin overidding. class drum { void method2(int j) { } } public class vote extends drum { void method2(final int j)throws ArithmeticException {
} }
this code does not give compile error. but how can a method in vote class throw an exception if the method in drum class does not throw it also. but if i just give throws Exception instead of ArithmeticException it gives error as expected. rules for ovrriding r , u cannot define the new method to throw exceptions unless it is defined in the original method right??? so in thiscase there is no exception in method in drum class but there is one in vote class , how is tht possible ?? thx regards Kamal
hi.. well.. the code compiles because ArithmeticException is a subclass of RuntimeException, that means that it is an unchecked exception and an overridden method has the limitation that it cannot throw any other CHECKED exceptions apart from which the original method is throwing, it doesn't say anything about the unchecked exceptions and ArithmeticException is an unchecked one. hope this helps..
hi kamal.. well.. i think u will do better to go thru RHE for this for an exhaustive list.. at the moment, i can recall only a couple like ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, ClassCastException etc.. if u have any further probs in finding them, pls let me know..
