Exception examples for Foil 46
1 Exception class has two constructors, one of which allows a message to be included in each instance.
2 The user can either throw an exception of type Exception with a unique message, or create own subclass of Exception:
  • public static void MyMethod() throws MyException
  • { . . .
  • throw new MyException;
  • . . . }
  • class MyException extends Exception
  • { public MyException ()
  • { super ("This is my exception message."); }
  • }
3 Methods which call "MyMethod" should use a try and catch block which catches an exception e of type MyException. Methods e.getMessage and e.printStackTrace can be used on Exceptions.
