Week09 Exceptions

The document outlines a lab for CS 211 at George Mason University focused on Java exceptions and file I/O. It includes tasks such as creating methods to handle arithmetic exceptions, implementing proper exception handling in provided code, and creating a custom exception class. Students are instructed to submit their work by the end of the lab session.

Week 09 Lab

Exceptions | File I/O Strikes back

CS 211 | Department of Computer Science | George Mason University


Outline

Java Exceptions
o On arithmetic or unsupported operations
o On file management operations
Throwables and making your own throwables
Notions

In Java, Exceptions and Errors are types of Throwables. A Throwable


provides a mechanism to trigger an unexpected event – throw:

throw new Throwable("Catch me if you can!");

Which can be listened to with several mechanisms – handling:


• Propagation:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {…}

• Catching: try{
// the Throwable may be thrown and propagated from a line within this block
}catch(Throwable t){
// and this block executes if the Throwable was in fact thrown.
}
Task 0

Download from Piazza: ExceptionBasics.java

Add a method that returns nothing, called iGotcha:


• “Try” to catch the arithmetic exception resulting of dividing a
number by zero.
• Once you caught it, print the line of code which caused the
situation based on the caught object.
• Call the method in your main method (commented in the code).
Task 1

• Download from Piazza: FileVader.java


• Follow the comments in the file to provide proper exception
handling to the existing code.
Task 2

Create the AnakinException class:


• It extends java.io.IOException
• It overrides public String getMessage():
Now it prints “I don’t like sand.”

Back in your FileVader class, mask* the IOException:


• Locate where your code is catching the IOException
• Now within that catch block, throw an AnakinException instead.
• Propagate the AnakinException beyond the main method.
*To mask an exception: to catch one exception and throw another
Submission
Do not forget!

• Submit your work by dragging your folders or package folders into


the Gradescope submission page (Week 08 Lab) by the end of the
lab time.
• Submit by the end of the lab time.
