Summary of Exception Handling in Java Video
Main Ideas:
- Difference between Errors and Exceptions:
- Errors: Syntax errors (e.g., missing semicolons) and logical errors (e.g., incorrect output despite execution).
- Exceptions: Events that cause program termination due to user mistakes, such as invalid inputs.
- Types of Errors:
- Syntax Errors: Issues in code syntax that prevent execution.
- Logical Errors: Code executes but produces incorrect output.
- Understanding Exceptions:
- An exception occurs when a user provides invalid input, leading to program termination.
- The program stops executing at the point where the exception is thrown.
- Exception Handling Process:
- Types of Exceptions in Java:
- Checked Exceptions: Identified by the Java compiler (e.g.,
FileNotFoundException
,InterruptedException
). - Unchecked Exceptions: Not identified by the compiler; developers must handle them (e.g.,
ArithmeticException
,NullPointerException
).
- Checked Exceptions: Identified by the Java compiler (e.g.,
- Handling Exceptions:
- Multiple catch Blocks:
- Using Throws Keyword:
- Checked exceptions can also be handled using the
throws
keyword at the method level, indicating that the method may throw certain exceptions.
- Checked exceptions can also be handled using the
Methodology/Instructions:
- Identify User Input Areas: Determine where user input is taken in your program.
- Wrap Potentially Problematic Code: Use a
try
block around code that may throw exceptions. - Handle Exceptions:
- Use Finally Block: Include a
finally
block for cleanup code that should run regardless of exceptions (e.g., closing resources). - Use Throws for Checked Exceptions: If a method may throw checked exceptions, declare them using
throws
in the method signature.
