Hi, all, see the following code, the question comes from
<code> http://valiveru.tripod.com/java/jvaltest.html
</code>

The answer is C and D, I thought it is B,C and D.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guaquio,
SubException is a subclass of BaseException , so in case aMethod() throws a SubException it can aways be cast to BaseException in MyClass (code B). BaseException can always account for the SubException . That's the same reason why code D is also correct .
And hey thanx for the number line (Math.floor()).
Ashish.

Youre right, although added useless unchecked exception into throws clause in example B it will compile (note that E does not!)
I think it should be B,C,D.

Hi Swati!
At least B,C and D do compile.

Oh, david, C is actually the same as B, since throwing RuntimeException is really meaningless.

Hi Guoqiao!
RuntimeException is not checked Exception, thus "throws RuntimeException" is really meaningless. Right?!

Yes, Antti, you are right, RuntimeException is not checked exception. See the following chart:

Those under RuntimeException and Error are unchecked exceptions, the rest are checked exceptions.
Hope it helps.
