1 Exceptions

2 Syntax Errors, Runtime Errors, and Logic Errors syntax errors, runtime errors, and logic errors You learned that there are three categories of errors: syntax errors, runtime errors, and logic errors. –Syntax errors arise because the rules of the language have not been followed. They are detected by the compiler. –Runtime errors occur while the program is running if the environment detects an operation that is impossible to carry out. –Logic errors occur when a program doesn't perform the way it was intended to.

4 Catch Runtime Errors

5 Exception Classes

6 System Errors System errors are thrown by JVM and represented in the Error class. The Error class describes internal system errors. Such errors rarely occur. If one does, there is little you can do beyond notifying the user and trying to terminate the program gracefully.

7 Exceptions Exceptions are represented in the Exception class that describes errors caused by your program and external circumstances. These errors can be caught and handled by your program.

8 Runtime Exceptions Runtime exceptions are represented in the RuntimeException class that describes programming errors, such as bad casting, accessing an out-of-bounds array, and numeric errors.

9 Checked Exceptions vs. Unchecked Exceptions RuntimeException, Error and their subclasses are known as unchecked exceptions. All other exceptions are known as checked exceptions, meaning that the compiler forces the programmer to check and deal with the exceptions.

10 Unchecked Exceptions In most cases, unchecked exceptions reflect programming logic errors that are not recoverable. For example, a NullPointerException is thrown if you access an object through a reference variable before an object is assigned to it; an IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if you access an element in an array outside the bounds of the array. These are the logic errors that should be corrected in the program. Unchecked exceptions can occur anywhere in the program. To avoid cumbersome overuse of try-catch blocks, Java does not mandate you to write code to catch unchecked exceptions.

11 Checked or Unchecked Exceptions Unchecked Exceptions

12 Declaring, Throwing, and Catching Exceptions

13 Declaring Exceptions Every method must state the types of checked exceptions it might throw. This is known as declaring exceptions. public void myMethod() throws IOException public void myMethod() throws IOException, OtherException

14 Throwing Exceptions When the program detects an error, the program can create an instance of an appropriate exception type and throw it. This is known as throwing an exception. Here is an example, throw new TheException(); or TheException ex = new TheException(); throw ex;

15 Throwing Exceptions Example /** Set a new radius */ public void setRadius(double newRadius) throws IllegalArgumentException { if (newRadius >= 0) radius = newRadius; else throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Radius cannot be negative"); }

16 Catching Exceptions try { statements; // Statements that may throw exceptions } catch (Exception1 exVar1) { handler for exception1; } catch (Exception2 exVar2) { handler for exception2; }... catch (ExceptionN exVar3) { handler for exceptionN; }

17 Catch or Declare Checked Exceptions Java forces you to deal with checked exceptions. If a method declares a checked exception (i.e., an exception other than Error or RuntimeException), you must invoke it in a try-catch block or declare to throw the exception in the calling method. For example, suppose that method p1 invokes method p2 and p2 may throw a checked exception (e.g., IOException), you have to write the code as shown in (A) or (B).

18 Rethrowing Exceptions try { statements; } catch(TheException ex) { perform operations before exits; throw ex; }

19 The finally Clause try { statements; } catch(TheException e) { handling e; } finally { finalStatements; }

20 Cautions When Using Exceptions Exception handling separates error-handling code from normal programming tasks, thus making programs easier to read and to modify. Be aware, however, that exception handling usually requires more time and resources because it requires instantiating a new exception object, rolling back the call stack, and propagating the errors to the calling methods.

21 When to Throw Exceptions An exception occurs in a method. –If you want the exception to be processed by its caller, you should create an exception object and throw it. –If you can handle the exception in the method where it occurs, there is no need to throw it. –If you can only partially handle it, you can rethrow it to its caller.

22 When to Use Exceptions When should you use the try-catch block in the code? You should use it to deal with unexpected error conditions. Do not use it to deal with simple, expected situations. For example, the following code try { System.out.println(refVar.toString()); } catch (NullPointerException ex) { System.out.println("refVar is null"); }

23 When to Use Exceptions is better to be replaced by if (refVar != null) System.out.println(refVar.toString()); else System.out.println("refVar is null");

24 Creating Custom Exception Classes F Use the exception classes in the API whenever possible. F Create custom exception classes if the predefined classes are not sufficient. F Declare custom exception classes by extending Exception or a subclass of Exception.

25 Exception-Handling Example: Divide by Zero Common programming mistake Throws ArithmeticException week12\ex1

26 finally Clause Resource leak –Caused when resources are not released by a program The finally block –Appears after catch blocks or try block –Always executes –Use to release resources week12\ex2

27 Stack Unwinding Exception not caught in scope –Method terminates –Stack unwinding occurs –Another attempt to catch exception week12\ex3

28 printStackTrace, getStackTrace and getMessage Throwable class –Method printStackTrace Prints method call stack –Method getStackTrace Obtains stack-trace information –Method getMessage Returns descriptive string week12\ex4

29 Chained Exceptions Wraps existing exception in a new exception –enables exception to maintain complete stack-trace week12\ex5

30 Declaring New Exception Types Extend existing exception class

31 Constructors and Exception Handling Throw exception if constructor causes error
