Java ?throw? Keyword
Exceptions are thrown to signal abnormal conditions that can often be
handled by some catcher; though it is possible they may not be caught and
therefore could result in a dead thread. Before catching an exception it is
must to be thrown first whether by the JVM or by the user itself. So there
must be a code somewhere in
the program to handle that exception.
All methods use the throw
statement to throw an exception, explicitly within the try block. To throw an exception,
the developers use the throw
keyword with an object reference as in:
| throw new
ABCException(); |
The type of the reference must be derived from the Throwable class or one of its subclasses.
