Questions abt Initializer block

[adiratha abhivachan]

I knew Initializer block cannot throw exception. Then how this code works fine.

 class Testaaaac{
 
{
int xssssss = 10/0;
                int[] xarray = new int[5];
System.out.println(xarray[5]);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("lets see how JVM handles this one");
}
 
}

The code like that will compile and run without any problem. The reason is that you have a non-static free floating block. This mean it will only be executed when you invoke the constructor (before the constructor itself will be executed).

So if you add "new Testaaaac();" to your code or you make the free floating block a static one: static { ... }, you'll get your exception

The main thread will also stop at that moment.

You are correct. Thanks a lot.
