Errata OCP Java SE 11 Programmer II Study Guide, page 679

[Mike Gualeni]

Hello

Possibly found an errata. The answer in the book on question 12 on page 410, Chapter 7 Concurrency, is B but it's incorrect.

The method signature is:

awaitTermination(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException

and throws an Interrupted Exception. And in the question mentioned above, the exception is not caught or declared to be thrown!
And that's why answer F should be correct. If the exception is caught or declared, answer B would be correct.

Greetings
Michael

Okay, I saw this:

Code fragments: A code fragment is a small section of source code that is presented without its context. Assume that all necessary supporting code exists and that the supporting environment fully supports the correct compilation and execution of the code shown and its omitted environment.


But do I have to assume everywhere if an exception is not caught or declared that a main method with the right throws Exception is surrounded'??

Yes. If you see code that is not in a method, you can assume that all exceptions are handled/declared.
