05 Exceptions

The document discusses exceptions in Java programs. It explains that exceptions can be caused by errors from the end user, programmer, or environment. It provides an example of a program that prompts the user for two integers and divides them, causing an ArithmeticException when the user enters 0 for the second integer. The document then discusses checked and unchecked exceptions, how exceptions are handled using try/catch blocks, and examples of using try/catch to handle FileNotFoundExceptions.

 There are three sources that can lead to


exceptions:

◦ The End User


 Garbage-in, garbage-out

◦ The Programmer
 Misunderstanding requirements and/or contract

◦ The Environment
 The VM, OS, hardware, etc.

Given two integers, write a program to
compute and output their quotient.

System.out.println("Enter the first integer:");


int a = input.nextInt();
System.out.println("Enter the second:");
int b = input.nextInt();
int c = a / b;
System.out.println("Their quotient is: " + c);

EECS1021 W16 (Steven C.) 3


Enter the first integer:
8
Enter the second:
0
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
at Quotient.main(Quotient.java:16)

In this case:
- The error source is the end user.
- The incorrect operation is invalid
- The exception was not caught

 Unchecked
◦ Does not need to be handled by code
◦ Derives from RuntimeException class:
 ArithmeticException
 ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
 …
 Checked
◦ Needs to be handled by code (e.g., “throws” clause)
◦ Derives from Exception class:
 FileNotFoundException
 IOException
 …

•An error source can lead to an incorrect operation
•An incorrect operations may be valid or invalid
•An invalid operation throws an exception
•An exception becomes a runtime error unless caught

 Example 1:
◦ Prompt for a filename and output a message if the
file is not found

 Example 2:
◦ Prompt for a filename
◦ Loop until the user provides a valid filename

 Each different exception class represents a
different (invalid) situation

 Catching a specific exception allows you to


handle that particular circumstance

 Example:
◦ When you catch the FileNotFoundException, you
know that the file you attempted to access does not
exist
