No exception thrown

[Shailesh Phatak]

Hello EveryOne,
I read in k & b book that if we don't make a directory using mkdir() function and add a file in it then it will throw an exception But the below code executes fine. Though it doesn't output anything..

  
import java.io.*;
class CheckException{
  public static void main(String args[]){


     File FirstDir = new File("First Directory");
     File FirstFile = new File(FirstDir,"FirstFile.txt");
   try{
          FirstFile.createNewFile();
          FileWriter fw=new FileWriter(FirstFile);
          BufferedWriter bw=new BufferedWriter(fw);
          bw.write("Will This throw an exception?");
          bw.flush();

          FileReader fr=new FileReader(FirstFile);
          BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
          System.out.println(br.readLine());

      }
   catch(Exception e){}
     }
  }
  

This code doesn't throw any exception but according to book it have to throw.
Note: There is no Directory named First Directory in my pC

How do you know it doesn't throw any exceptions? Any exception thrown will be quietly caught and ignored in your code.

Or are you saying that you were able to write out the sentence, read it back, and print it?
