Throwing ExceptionsThrowing Exceptions
What should a method do when a problem is detected?
Traditionally, methods return some special code to indicate failure
However,– The caller may forget to check the return value– The caller may not be able to fix it
![Page 6: Applets & Applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/568143f1550346895db078eb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Problems with return signalsProblems with return signals
If the caller forgets to check– Bad data is processed
String input = myTextBox.getText();
Double d = new Double(input); // what if I type “hello”
i = d.doubleValue();
If the caller can’t fix it – We have to punt to the caller’s caller
x.doStuff(); // becomes
If (!x.doStuff()) return false; //man, that’s a lot of code

Exception-handling Exception-handling mechanism to the rescuemechanism to the rescue
Exceptions can’t be overlookedExcepts can be handled by a competent
handler– Not just the caller

Checked & Unchecked Checked & Unchecked ExceptionsExceptions
Java Exceptions fall into two categories– Checked
You MUST tell the compiler what you are going to do about the exception
– Unchecked (sub-classes of RuntimeException) NumberFormatException IllegalArgumentException NullPointerException

Why Checked & Unchecked?Why Checked & Unchecked?
Checked Exceptions are not your fault– So, you have to deal with them
Unchecked Exceptions are your fault– So, we trust you to deal with them
You have to deal with things you cannot prevent!

FinallyFinally
The Finally block executes regardless of what happens in the try/catch
Good for cleaning up resourcesGood for conditions where the catch blocks
may throw exceptions.
