ITC C106 – Introduction to

Programming II

Java Exceptions

Prepared by: A. C. Valderama – CSE- IT

Handling Exceptions
• An exception is an object that is generated as the
result of an error or an unexpected event.
• Exceptions are said to have been “thrown.”
• It is the programmers responsibility to write code
that detects and handles exceptions.
• Unhandled exceptions will crash a program.
• Java allows you to create exception handlers.

Objectives
• At the end of the lesson, the student
should be able to:

• Define exceptions
• Handle exceptions using a simple try-catch-
finally block
Exceptions
• An exception
• is an event that interrupts the normal processing flow of a program. This
event is usually some error of some sort.
• This causes our program to terminate abnormally.
Examples
• Some examples of exceptions:
• ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exceptions, which occurs if we try to access a
non-existent array element
• NumberFormatException, which occurs when we try to pass as a
parameter a non-number in the Integer.parseInt method.
Handling Exceptions
• To handle exceptions in Java, we use a try-
catch-finally block. What we do in our
programs is that we place the statements
that can possibly generate an exception
inside this block.
try-catch-finally block
• The general form of a try-catch-finally block
is,
try-catch-finally block
• Key aspects about the syntax of the try-catch-
finally construct:
• The block notation is mandatory.
• For each try block, there can be one or more catch blocks, but only one finally
block.
• The catch blocks and finally blocks must always appear in conjunction with
the try block, and in the above order.
• A try block must be followed by AT LEAST one catch block OR one finally
block, or both.
• Each catch block defines an exception handle. The header of the catch block
takes exactly one argument, which is the exception its block is willing to
handle. The exception must be of the Throwable class or one of its subclasses.
Program Flow
Example
public class ExceptionExample
{
public static void main( String[] args ){

try{
System.out.println( args[1] );
}
catch( ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException exp ){
System.out.println("Exception caught!");
}
}
}
Summary
• Defined what exceptions are and some
sample exceptions we encountered along
the way.
• How to handle exceptions by using the try-
catch-finally block.
