class Level1Exception extends Exception {}
class Level2Exception extends Level1Exception {}
class Level3Exception extends Level2Exception {}
class Purple {
public static void main(String args[]) {
int a,b,c,d,f,g,x;
a = b = c = d = f = g = 0;
x = 1;
try {
throw new Level1Exception();
try {
switch (x) {
case 1: throw new Level1Exception();
case 2: throw new Level2Exception();
case 3: throw new Level3Exception();
} a++; }
catch (Level2Exception e) {b++;}
finally {c++;}
}
catch (Level1Exception e) { d++;}
catch (Exception e) {f++;}
finally {g++;}
System.out.print(a+","+b+","+c+","+d+","+f+","+g);
}}


the result of this is compiler error , saying switch statement cannot be reached.
the whole time i was thinking about what could be the error in exceptions and not thinking about unreacheable statements.any guidelines on identifying unreacheable statements and when to look for those.
thanks

It's because the program
"throw new Level1Exception();"
before the second "try", so the second "try" is not reachable.
