UNIT-III
Exception Handling and I/O

UNIT-III
EXCEPTION HANDLING AND I/O
Exceptions - Exception hierarchy - throwing and
catching exceptions – built-in exceptions, creating
own exceptions, Stack Trace Elements. Input /
Output Basics – Streams – Byte streams and
Character streams – Reading and Writing Console
– Reading and Writing Files

EXCEPTIONS
 The Exception Handling in Java is one of the
powerful mechanism to handle the runtime
errors so that normal flow of the application can
be maintained.

ADVANTAGE OF EXCEPTION
HANDLING
 The core advantage of exception handling is to
maintain the normal flow of the application.
 An exception normally disrupts the normal flow
of the application that is why we use exception
handling.
 Let's take a scenario:
 statement 1;
 statement 2;
 statement 3;
 statement 4;
 statement 5;//exception occurs

ADVANTAGE OF EXCEPTION
HANDLING
 statement 6;
 statement 7;
 statement 8;
 statement 9;
 statement 10;
 Suppose there are 10 statements in your program
and there occurs an exception at statement 5, the
rest of the code will not be executed i.e.
statement 6 to 10 will not be executed.
 If we perform exception handling, the rest of the
statement will be executed.
 That is why we use exception handling in Java.

HIERARCHY OF JAVA EXCEPTION
CLASSES
 The java.lang.Throwable class is the root class of
Java Exception hierarchy which is inherited by
two subclasses: Exception and Error.
 A hierarchy of Java Exception classes are given
below:

oop-unit-iii-ppt.pptexceptionhandlingobjectorientedprogramming

TYPES OF JAVA EXCEPTIONS
 There are mainly two types of exceptions:
checked and unchecked. Here, an error is
considered as the unchecked exception. According
to Oracle, there are three types of exceptions:
1. Checked Exception
2. Unchecked Exception
3. Error

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHECKED
AND UNCHECKED EXCEPTIONS
1) Checked Exception
 The classes which directly inherit Throwable class except
RuntimeException and Error are known as checked exceptions
e.g. IOException, SQLException etc.
 Checked exceptions are checked at compile-time.
2) Unchecked Exception
 The classes which inherit RuntimeException are known as
unchecked exceptions e.g. ArithmeticException,
NullPointerException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException etc.
 Unchecked exceptions are not checked at compile-time, but
they are checked at runtime.
3) Error
 Error is irrecoverable e.g. OutOfMemoryError,
VirtualMachineError, AssertionError etc.

JAVA EXCEPTION KEYWORDS
Keyword Description
try
The "try" keyword is used to specify a block where we
should place exception code. The try block must be
followed by either catch or finally. It means, we can't use
try block alone.
catch
The "catch" block is used to handle the exception. It must
be preceded by try block which means we can't use catch
block alone. It can be followed by finally block later.
finally
The "finally" block is used to execute the important code
of the program. It is executed whether an exception is
handled or not.
throw The "throw" keyword is used to throw an exception.
throws
The "throws" keyword is used to declare exceptions. It
doesn't throw an exception. It specifies that there may
occur an exception in the method. It is always used with
method signature.

COMMON SCENARIOS OF JAVA
EXCEPTIONS
 There are given some scenarios where unchecked
exceptions may occur. They are as follows:
1) A scenario where ArithmeticException occurs
 If we divide any number by zero, there occurs an
ArithmeticException.
 int a=50/0;//ArithmeticException
2) A scenario where NullPointerException occurs
 If we have a null value in any variable, performing any
operation on the variable throws a NullPointerException.
 String s=null;
 System.out.println(s.length());//NullPointerException

COMMON SCENARIOS OF JAVA
EXCEPTIONS
3) A scenario where NumberFormatException occurs
The wrong formatting of any value may occur
NumberFormatException. Suppose I have a string variable that
has characters, converting this variable into digit will occur
NumberFormatException.
 String s="abc";
 int i=Integer.parseInt(s);//NumberFormatException
4)A scenario where ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
occurs
If you are inserting any value in the wrong index, it would
result in ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException as shown below:
 int a[]=new int[5];
 a[10]=50; //ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

EXAMPLE
public class Exp1{
public static void main(String args[]){
try{
int data=100/0;
}catch(ArithmeticException e)
{System.out.println(e);}
System.out.println("Rest of the code.....");
}
}

INTERNAL WORKING OF JAVA TRY-
CATCH BLOCK

INTERNAL WORKING OF JAVA TRY-
CATCH BLOCK
 The JVM firstly checks whether the exception is
handled or not. If exception is not handled, JVM
provides a default exception handler that
performs the following tasks:
 Prints out exception description.
 Prints the stack trace (Hierarchy of methods where
the exception occurred).
 Causes the program to terminate.
 But if exception is handled by the application
programmer, normal flow of the application is
maintained i.e. rest of the code is executed.

JAVA CATCH MULTIPLE
EXCEPTIONS
 A try block can be followed by one or more catch
blocks.
 Each catch block must contain a different
exception handler.
 So, if you have to perform different tasks at the
occurrence of different exceptions, use java multi-
catch block.
 Points to remember
 At a time only one exception occurs and at a time only
one catch block is executed.
 All catch blocks must be ordered from most specific to
most general, i.e. catch for ArithmeticException must
come before catch for Exception.

EXAMPLE
public class MultipleCatchBlock1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
int a[]=new int[5];
a[5]=30/0; }
catch(ArithmeticException e) {
System.out.println("Arithmetic Exception occurs"); catch(Arra
yIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
System.out.println("ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception occur
s"); }
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Parent Exception occurs"); } System.ou
t.println("rest of the code"); }
}

JAVA NESTED TRY BLOCK
 The try block within a try block is known as
nested try block in java.
 Why use nested try block
 Sometimes a situation may arise where a part of a
block may cause one error and the entire block itself
may cause another error.
 In such cases, exception handlers have to be nested.

SYNTAX
try
{
statement 1;
statement 2;
try
{
statement 1;
statement 2;
}
catch(Exception e)
{ }
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
....

EXAMPLE
class Excep2{
try{
try{
System.out.println("going to divide");
int b =39/0; }
catch(ArithmeticExceptione){System.out.println(e);}
try{
int a[]=new int[5];
a[5]=4;
}catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptione)
{System.out.println(e);}
System.out.println("other statement");
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println("handeled");}
System.out.println("normal flow.."); } }

JAVA FINALLY BLOCK
 Java finally block is a block that is used to
execute important code such as closing
connection, stream etc.
 Java finally block is always executed whether
exception is handled or not.
 Java finally block follows try or catch block.

EXAMPLE
class TestFinallyBlock{
try{
int data=25/5;
System.out.println(data); }
catch(NullPointerException e
){System.out.println(e);}
finally
{System.out.println("finally block is always executed");}
}
}

THROWING AND CATCHING
EXCEPTIONS
 The throw keyword in Java is used to explicitly
throw an exception from a method or any block of
code.
 We can throw either
checked or unchecked exception.
 The throw keyword is mainly used to throw
custom exceptions.
Syntax: throw Instance
Example:
throw new ArithmeticException("/ by zero");

EXAMPLE : THROW
public class TestThrow1{
static void validate(int age){
if(age<18)
throw new ArithmeticException("not valid");
else
System.out.println("welcome to vote");
}
validate(13);
System.out.println("rest of the code...");
} }

JAVA THROWS KEYWORD
 The Java throws keyword is used to declare an
exception.
 It gives an information to the programmer that
there may occur an exception so it is better for
the programmer to provide the exception
handling code so that normal flow can be
maintained.
 Exception Handling is mainly used to handle the
checked exceptions.


JAVA THROWS KEYWORD
 If there occurs any unchecked exception such as
NullPointerException, it is programmers fault that he
is not performing check up before the code being used.
 Syntax of java throws
 return_type method_name() throws exception_class_
name{ //method code }
 Advantage of Java throws keyword
 Now Checked Exception can be propagated
(forwarded in call stack).
 It provides information to the caller of the method
about the exception.


EXAMPLE FOR THROWS
class Test {
static void check() throws ArithmeticException
{ System.out.println("Inside check function");
throw new ArithmeticException("demo"); }
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
check(); }
catch(ArithmeticException e)
{ System.out.println("caught" + e); } } }

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THROW &
THROWS
throw throws
throw keyword is used to
throw an exception explicitly.
throws keyword is used to
declare an exception possible
during its execution.
throw keyword is followed by
an instance of Throwable
class or one of its sub-classes.
throws keyword is followed by
one or more Exception class
names separated by commas.
throw keyword is declared
inside a method body.
throws keyword is used with
method signature (method
declaration).
We cannot throw multiple
exceptions using throw
keyword.
We can declare multiple
exceptions (separated by
commas) using throws
keyword.

BUILT-IN EXCEPTIONS
 Java defines several types of exceptions that
relate to its various class libraries.
 Java also allows users to define their own
exceptions.

BUILT-IN EXCEPTIONS
 Built-in exceptions are the exceptions which are
available in Java libraries.
 These exceptions are suitable to explain certain
error situations.
 Below is the list of important built-in exceptions in
Java.
 ArithmeticException
 ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
 ClassNotFoundException
 FileNotFoundException
 IOException

BUILT-IN EXCEPTIONS
 InterruptedException
 NoSuchFieldException
 NoSuchMethodException
 NullPointerException
 NumberFormatException
 RuntimeException
 StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

EXAMPLE FOR BUILT IN
EXCEPTION
class NullPointer_Demo
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try {
String a = null; //null value
System.out.println(a.charAt(0));
} catch(NullPointerException e) {
System.out.println("NullPointerException.."
); }
} }

USER DEFINED EXCEPTION
 java we can create our own exception class and
throw that exception using throw keyword.
 These exceptions are known as user-
defined or custom exceptions.
 In this tutorial we will see how to create your
own custom exception and throw it on a
particular condition.
 To understand this tutorial you should have the
basic knowledge of try-catch block and
throw in java.

EXAMPLE
class MyException extends Exception{
String str1;
MyException(String str2) {
str1=str2;}
public String toString(){
return ("MyException Occurred: "+str1) ; }}
public class Example1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
System.out.println("Starting of try block");
throw new MyException("This is My error Message");}
catch(MyException exp){
System.out.println("Catch Block") ;
System.out.println(exp) ;
}
} }

STREAMS
 the Stream API is used to process collections of
objects
 is a sequence of data , supports various methods
 Types
 Input Stream : used to read data from a source.
 Output Stream : used for writing data to a destination.

TYPES OF INPUT & OUTPUT
STREAM

CONSOLE STREAMS
 In Java, 3 streams are created for us
automatically. All these streams are attached
with the console.
1) System.out: standard output stream
2) System.in: standard input stream
3) System.err: standard error stream
Example:
 System.out.println("simple message");
 System.err.println("error message");
 System.in.read()

BYTE STREAM CLASSES
Stream class Description
BufferedInputStream Used for Buffered Input Stream.
BufferedOutputStream Used for Buffered Output Stream.
DataInputStream Contains method for reading java
standard datatype
DataOutputStream An output stream that contain method for
writing java standard data type
FileInputStream Input stream that reads from a file
FileOutputStream Output stream that write to a file.

int i;
while((i=fr.read())!=-1)
System.out.print((char)i);
fr.close();
}
}

import java.io.FileWriter;
public class f12
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
FileWriter fw=new FileWriter("D:t1.txt");
fw.write("Welcome to javaTpoint.");
fw.close();
}
catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
System.out.println("Success...");
}
}
