Java Exception Handling regarding Constructor

[DeepakDev Kumar]

Hi Everybody

In the below code ...If i remove constructor Test11(int i) then it compile and run.Can anybody clarify why compiler ask to include throws clause in constructor Test11(int i)...though I am explicitly calling Test11() by .... Test11 t = new Test11();


public class Test11 extends A{
Test11()throws Exception{
System.out.println("Test10 Class");
}
Test11(int i){}
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{

Test11 t = new Test11();
}


}
class A{
A() throws Exception{
System.out.println("A Class");
}
}

thanks in advance
Deepak

What's the first thing that an empty constructor does ?
If you don't know you need to read this. Particularly the Note near the bottom

Dear Neal

Thanks for your reply.
Your provided link did not clear my doubts.

It is understandable that before sub-class constructor runs it will call super class constructor.
If I call Test11 t = new Test11(); then it will look Test11() and in Test11() the first statement will be super().

Then why compiler ask to throws exception with Test11(int i) like Test11(int i) throws Exception {}

Correct. So what constructor will that call to super() actually invoke ? Or to put it another way - why have you declared this constructor to throw an exception but you don't understand why you need to declare the second constructor to throw an exception.

Thanks a lot Neal for clearing my doubt.

Please use the code button; I would have appleid it retrospectively but the code was not indented, so it would have had no effect. And please don’t say “Neal”. It’s “Ms Neal”.
