Error Handling

&
Exception Handling
Error Handling & Exception Handling

• Error handling refers to the response and


recovery procedures from error conditions
present in a software application.

• Exception Handling is an abnormal condition


that arises in a code sequence at run time. In
other words, an exception is a run-time error.
Error Handling VS Exception Handling

• Exceptions are those which can be handled at

the run time, whereas errors cannot be

handled at the run time.


Exception Handling
• In Java it is handled using 4 keywords
 Try
 Catch
 Throws
 Finally
Using Keywords

• try – A block of source code that is to be


monitored for exception
• catch – It handles the specific type of exception
along with the try block.
• throws – It specifies the exception that can be
thrown by a particular method.
• finally – it specifies the code that must be
executed even though exception may or may
not be occur.
Handling try-catch block
Finally Block
Handling try-catch block( Cont..)
• The statement(s) that are likely to cause an exception
are enclosed within a try block.
• For these statements the exception is thrown.
• There is another block defined by the keyword catch
which is responsible for handling the exception
thrown by the try block.
• As soon as exception occurs it is handled by the catch
block.
• The catch block is added immediately after the try
block.
