java Exceptions

[pares gada]

i have code such as:

MyException.java
package except;

public class MyException extends Exception
{
private String msg;

public MyException()
{
this.msg="Maths Wrong";
}
}


ExceptionThrow.java
package except;

public class ExceptionThrow

{
public static void main(String args[])
{
num(10);
num(0);
}
static void num(int x) throws MyException
{
if(x==0) throw new MyException();
}
}


I am not able to compile ExceptionThrow.java

The routine main() won't compile because it's calling num(), which declares that it throws MyException. That means main() either has to catch MyException, or it has to also declare that it throws this same exception.

These are your two choices whenever you call a method that throws a checked exception type. You either have to catch it, or you have to "pass it on" by declaring that your calling method throws it, too.
