throw/throws
You can throw an exception, either a newly instantiated one or an exception that you
just caught, by using the throw keyword.

If a method does not handle a checked exception, the method must declare it using the
throws keyword. The throws keyword appears at the end of a method's signature.

Try to understand the difference between throws and throw keywords, throws is used
to postpone the handling of a checked exception and throw is used to invoke an
exception explicitly.

The Finally Block

The finally block follows a try block or a catch block. A finally block of code always
executes, irrespective of occurrence of an Exception.

Using a finally block allows you to run any cleanup-type statements that you want to
execute, no matter what happens in the protected code.

A finally block appears at the end of the catch blocks and has the following syntax −
Example

pub ·c c ass Exce Test

p ic static oi i St i. g a s( } {
. t a 1 = .e 2 ;
t_ {
s Ste a 3 );
J catch
s Ste
sExce tio. e
. .. {
e ;

S Ste .O t.p_ t e: " + a ) ;


S st .o t.p_ t ·· state .t 1.s exec ted ");
}
}
}

This will produce the following result -

Output

Exce t· thro;n :Ja a. a g. ra .dex dsExce t .. 3


a e: 6
state e. t is exec te
Note the following −

A catch clause cannot exist without a try statement.

It is not compulsory to have finally clauses whenever a try/catch block is present.

The try block cannot be present without either catch clause or finally clause.

Any code cannot be present in between the try, catch, finally blocks.
Chained Exceptions in Java

Chained Exceptions allows to relate one exception with another exception, i.e one
exception describes cause of another exception.

For example, consider a situation in which a method throws an ArithmeticException


because of an attempt to divide by zero but the actual cause of exception was an I/O error
which caused the divisor to be zero. The method will throw only ArithmeticException to
the caller. So the caller would not come to know about the actual cause of exception.
Chained Exception is used in such type of situations.

Constructors Of Throwable class which support chained exceptions in java :

Throwable(Throwable cause) :- Where cause is the exception that causes the current
exception.

Throwable(String msg, Throwable cause) :- Where msg is the exception message and
cause is the exception that causes the current exception.
public static void ·n(stri [ args)

// sett1 a C ::.on
.i 'tcause( ion(
"'"hi e of t exception"));

ion : h cause.

User defined exception in java

In java we can create our own exception class and throw that exception using throw
keyword. These exceptions are known as user-defined or custom exceptions.
