exception with previous paper question on exception

The document explains exception handling in Java, which allows programs to manage runtime errors without crashing. It covers key concepts such as try, catch, finally, throw, and throws, along with their purposes and usage in code. Additionally, it differentiates between exceptions, which can be handled, and errors, which are more severe and typically unresolvable in code.

🧠 What is Exception Handling?


When your Java program runs, sometimes things can go wrong (like dividing by zero, or
opening a file that doesn’t exist). These errors at runtime are called exceptions.

Java provides a way to handle these exceptions so your program doesn’t crash suddenly.
This is called exception handling.

🔑 Keywords used in Exception Handling:


1. try – Block where you write code that may cause an exception.
2. catch – Block that handles the exception.
3. finally – Block that always runs (whether exception happens or not).
4. throw – Used to throw an exception manually.
5. throws – Declares exceptions that a method might throw.
Simple Example:

💡 What is catch (ArithmeticException e)?

This line catches the exception thrown from the try block if it's an ArithmeticException
— for example, dividing by zero.

Let’s explain it part by part:

📘 catch:

• Used to handle exceptions.


• It follows a try block.
• It "catches" the exception if it matches the specified type.
catch (ArithmeticException e) means:
"If an ArithmeticException happens in the try block, catch it and use the object e to
understand or handle the error."
what e does ?

Let’s explain what e does in a catch block like this:

💡 What is e?

• e is just a variable name.


• It holds the exception object that was thrown.
• You can use it to get details about the error.

You can name it anything (e, ex, error, etc.), but e is commonly used.

Example
🧠 Summary:

e is the object that represents the exception that happened.


You use it to inspect or log the error.

throw – Throw an exception manually


🧠 What happens:

• If age < 18, we manually throw an ArithmeticException.


• The program stops there unless handled with a try-catch.

throws – Tell Java that the method might throw an exception

Simple Example:

🧠 What happens:

• readFile() might throw a FileNotFoundException, which is a checked


exception.
• So we declare throws IOException to inform Java:

“Hey, this method might throw an exception. Be ready to handle it.”


📌 Bonus Tip:

You can combine both:

i. Use of try-catch and finally block in Exception Handling

• try block:
It contains code that might throw an exception. If an exception occurs, the rest of
the code in the try block is skipped, and control is transferred to the catch block.
• catch block:
This block handles the exception. You can write code here to show a message, log
the error, or recover from the problem.
• finally block:
This block always executes, whether an exception occurred or not. It is often used
to close files, release resources, or clean up code.

finally
✳ Purpose of the throw Keyword in Java

• The throw keyword is used to manually throw an exception (either built-in or user-
defined).
• It is typically used for custom validation when you want to signal an error condition
yourself.

Difference Between Error and Exception in Java
✅ Summary:

Exceptions are for problems you can handle (like divide-by-zero or file not found).
Errors are for serious problems you usually can’t fix in code (like running out of memory).
