Throws

The document explains the 'throws' keyword in Java, which is used to declare exceptions and inform the caller method to handle them. It provides examples of how to implement exception handling using 'throws' and 'try-catch' blocks, highlighting the consequences of unhandled exceptions. The document also emphasizes that 'throws' does not handle exceptions but rather indicates that an exception may occur, requiring the caller to manage it appropriately.

Throws Keyword

 Throws Keyword is used to declare an exception.


 It gives an information to caller method that there may occur an exception, so it is
better for the caller method to provide the exception handling code, so that normal flow
of program can be maintained.
 Throws keyword never handle exception
 Exception Handling is mainly used to handle the checked exceptions. If there occurs
any unchecked exception such as NullPointerException, it is programmers' fault that
he is not checking the code before it being used.
 Throws is used with method not inside the method
