Unchecked & Checked Exceptions

[Anuja]

What i understand that if it is unchecked exceptions, we dodn't have to use catch otherwise we have to use.
Generally first we are using throw then catch then try & Finally.
May I correct? Pleae confirm!
Thanks in advance

hi
unchecked exceptions are runtime exceptions
ie arithmetic ,nullpointer ,number format
for the above mentioned exceptions we need
catch stmt or finally stmt

Hi bala_chocos
Thanks a lot!
So for unchecked exceptions, we have to use either catch or finally and for checked, we don't have to use catch
right!
thanks in advance,

Anuja,
You have got it wrong.
Unchecked(RuntimeException and its subclasses) exceptions need not be caught(try/catch) or declared in the 'throws' clause of the method.You need to do this only for Checked(Exception and its subclasses,excluding RuntimeException and its subclasses)exceptions.I would advice you to go through the Chapter on 'Exceptions' in the Java language specification.(freely downloadable from java.sun.com)
