Help me in Exception Handling

[Manoj Chandran]

Hello,
In handling exceptions it is possible to catch any exception using a catch block which has Exception object as parameter.Plz explain how it is achieved?
with regards,

Hi,
Since Exception is the Topmost class extended after Throwable and since all other exceptions thrown by the try catch block are comming as a subclass of Exception class, it is possible to catch all the exceptions by Exception object in the catch block.

Hi Manoj,
You can catch Exception

try
{
         int a = 10/0;
}
catch( Exception e ) 
{
    // some code
}

The above will catch any exception which subclasses Exception; however, this is not a recommended technique. If you're looking for an IOException or FileNotFoundException then your catch should look for that specifically ... makes things easier for anyone else using your code.
Hope that helps.
