Can anybody explain?
Thanks in bunches,

Explain what?

[Andy Boyibolomy]

I think the answer is C.
line 12: return;
so the following catch block is unreachable in any case, the compiler will complain then.

Have a good J Day

madhuri,
The rule is if you want to catch any exception in any catch block, you will have to specify that specific exception in the corresponding "try" body. Line 15: catch(MyException e), MyException is not thrown in the try statement.
cheers,
A

hi all
pls try out the code - it compiles and runs without nay error or exception.
what you missed was that there are two try blocks - hence the return in the inside finally will take the control to the outside try block - where there is catch to complete it.
the inner try block does throw an exception - which will be caught if you have an inner catch block - as you will see in the foll code.
so it means that the exception of class MyException takes a null String as the object req by its constructor - thrown in line 9 of original code.
this exception has no catch block - but has a finally with a return statement - passes control outside.
code :
class MyException extends Exception{
MyException(Object x){}
}

public class Q19{
static void call(){
try{ System.out.println("in outer try");
try{
System.out.println("in inner try");
throw new MyException("");
}

catch(MyException e){
System.out.println("in inner Catch");
System.out.println(e.getClass());
}

finally{
System.out.println("in inner finally");
return;
}

}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("in outer Catch");
System.out.println(e.getClass());
}
}

public static void main(String[] args){
call();
System.out.println("in Main");
}
}
Maybe Tony can explain better what happens to the exception which is thrown???

Hi all,
Thank you for the explanation.
hi tony,
Explain means obviously explain the reason of comp error.

[Hari Gangadharan]

This code will produce a compile time error in Line 15. The reason is "Exception MyException not thrown in the body for catching". It is a rule that you can code catch only if somebody throws it. Since the inner block catches the Exception the outer block reports a compile error.
Hope it helps --
