Throwable

[Priya Rajan]

Pl explain me.
public class AQuest
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Before Try");
try
{
}
catch(Throwable t)
{
System.out.println("Inside Catch");
}
System.out.println("At the End");
}
}

The lines "Before Try" and "At the end" are printed on the screen.

why Compiler not complaining about the catch block, where no Throwable object can ever be thrown?
Thanks

Because in theory a RuntimeException could occur within the scope of the try{} block. All of these will work...
Throwable
Exception
RuntimeException
any child of RuntimeException
