2. Exceptions and Exception Types

3. Claiming Exceptions public void myMethod() public void myMethod() throws IOException throws IOException public void myMethod() public void myMethod() throws IOException, OtherException throws IOException, OtherException

4. Throwing Exceptions throw new TheException(); throw new TheException(); TheException e = new TheException(); throw e; TheException e = new TheException(); throw e;

5. Throwing Exceptions Example public Rational divide(Rational r) throws Exception { if (r.numer == 0) if (r.numer == 0){ throw new Exception("denominator throw new Exception("denominator cannot be zero"); cannot be zero"); } long n = numer*r.denom; long n = numer*r.denom; long d = denom*r.numer; long d = denom*r.numer; return new Rational(n,d); return new Rational(n,d);}

6. Catching Exceptionstry{ statements; statements;} catch (Exception1 e) { handler for exception1 } catch (Exception2 e) { handler for exception2 }... catch (ExceptionN e) { handler for exceptionN }

7. Example 11.2 Catching Exceptions Objective: Write a program to test the new Rational class. Objective: Write a program to test the new Rational class. TestRationalException Run Rational

8. Exceptions in GUI Applications An error message appears on the console, but the GUI application continues running. An error message appears on the console, but the GUI application continues running. Re-run the MenuDemo applet from Example 9.9 and divide by 0 to see how a GUI deals with unhandled exceptions. Re-run the MenuDemo applet from Example 9.9 and divide by 0 to see how a GUI deals with unhandled exceptions. MenuDemo Run

9. Example 11.4 Creating Your Own Exception Classes F Objective: Create 10 accounts and transfer funds among the accounts. Raise exceptions if a transaction amount is negative or the account balance is less than the transaction amount. TestMyExceptionRun NegativeAmountExceptionAccount InsufficientFundException

10. Example 11.5 Using Exceptions in Applets Objective: An applet for account transactions that displays account ID and balance and performs deposits and withdrawals. For each transaction, a message indicates success or failure of the transaction, and reports any reason for failure. Objective: An applet for account transactions that displays account ID and balance and performs deposits and withdrawals. For each transaction, a message indicates success or failure of the transaction, and reports any reason for failure. AccountApplet Run Applet Viewer

11. Rethrowing Exceptionstry{ statements; statements;} catch(TheException e) { perform operations before exits; perform operations before exits; throw e; throw e;}

12. The finally Clausetry{ statements; statements;} catch(TheException e) { handling e; handling e;}finally{ finalStatements; finalStatements;}
