IOException

[Arun Maalik]

public class AQuestion
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ System.out.println("Before Try");
try { }
catch(java.io.IOException t)
{ System.out.println("Inside Catch");
}
System.out.println("At the End");
}
}

Dear sir in the above code it is an compile time error that try is not throwing IOException although when i m using in catch That ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException no problem at all why?

with regard

IOException is a checked exception, and ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is an unchecked exception.

You can't have a catch block for a checked exception when there isn't a possibility of the checked exception occuring within the try block.
