Exceptions - Question

[Monisha Talwar]

Question 59.
Given that method aMethod() throws BaseException, SubException and RuntimeException of the following exception hierarchy

java.lang.Exception
|
+ - - BaseException
|
+ - - SubException
|
+ - - java.lang.RuntimeException

Which of the following are legal
A.public class MyClass {
  public void myMethod(){
aMethod();
  }
}
B.public class MyClass{
  public void myMethod() throws BaseException,RuntimeException{
aMethod();
  }
}
C.public class MyClass{
  public void myMethod() throws BaseException{
aMethod();
  }
}
D.public class MyClass{
  public void myMethod() throws Exception{
aMethod();
  }
}
E.public class MyClass{
  public void myMethod() throws RuntimeException {
aMethod();
  }
}

Ans is : C and D.
Can't B also be considered correct. Even though it is not required to throw (handle or declare) a Runtime Exception, its not illegal to throw (handle or declare)it.
In option B we are declaring the BaseException anyway, and in addition also throw Runtime...is this wrong?

You're right, B is legal. You don't need to declare that a method throws a RuntimeException, but you can.
