Exception 1

Week010 - Exception
Laboratory Exercise 009

Objective/s:
At the end of this activity, you should be able to:
· Demonstrate how Exceptions will be used
· Understand how to catch the exceptions
· Learn the advantage of exception handing in an application

What to Prepare for the Activity:

 NetBeans IDE 8.2
 JDK8 (Java Development Kit 8)

Procedure:
 Create a NetBeans project for this activity. The project name should be as follows:
Project Name: Lab009_<lastname_firstname>
Example: Lab009_Blanco_Maria
 Compress the NetBeans project into .rar or .zip format and then upload to the link
provided in the LMS.
 Only NetBeans project compressed in .rar or .zip format will be accepted.

A. Given the following class:

public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int k=0;
try {
int i = 5/k;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("3");
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
System.out.println("1");
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
System.out.println("2");
return;

System.out.println("4");
}
System.out.println("5");
}
}

Test Stem / Question Choices

1: Run the class above. What was the A: Compile Error

result?
B: Runtime exception

C: Arithmetic exception

D: run perfectly

2: What needs to be done to remove the A: Make the catch clause catching Exception as the last catch
error in the class? clause

B: Remove the finally clause

C: Set the value of k to 1.

D: Nothing

3: Now that you have fixed the code above, A: It printed:

what is the new result? 1
4
5

B: It printed:
3
1
5

C: It printed:

D: It printed:

Since it is correct to begin with.

B. Given the following program, which statements are true?

public class ExceptionLabExercise {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
System.out.println(args[0]);
} finally {

 System.out.println("FINALLY");
}
}
}

C. Given the following classes,

public class TestClass {

public static void main(String[] args) throws A {

try {
f();
} finally {
System.out.println("Done.");

4: Run the class above. What A: It printed finally then thrown

happens when you run with no ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
arguments?
B: It printed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

C: It printed finally

D: Nothing happend

5: If an A: Check the length of the array before printing the

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptio arguments
n occurred, what is the best way
to handle this? B: Add a catch clause for the said exception

C: Always use finally clause in order to avoid

exceptions

D: Nothing. That Exception needs not be caught.

6: What is the problem with the A: The finally statement must be preceeded by the
above code? catch clause

B: Exceptions cannot be extended

D: Nothing is wrong

7: What should be done with the A: Move the catch clause before the finally clause.
code?
B: Do not use Throwable as the supertype of
Exception 1.

C: Do not throw the exception.

D: Nothing is wrong

8: What happens after you have A: “Done” is printed and an exception is shown in
been able to fix the code? the stack

B: “Done” is printed

C: Exception is shown in the stack

D: Nothing is wrong

9: What is the problem with the A: null exception cannot be thrown

above code?
