Type codes used in describing Exceptions | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Letter | Type | Parent Class | Checked? (declare throws?) | Use |
R | Runtime | java.lang.RuntimeException | N | Error that can occur in almost any code e.g. NullPointerException. |
E | Error | java.lang.Error | N | Serious error you really should not try to catch, e.g. OutOfMemoryError. |
C | Checked | java.lang.Exception | Y | Likely exceptional condition that can only occur in specific places in the code e.g. EOFException. |
If you catch Error you will catch all manner of errors (type E).
If you catch Exception you will catch all manner of checked Exceptions and run time Exceptions (type R+C).
If you catch Throwable, you will catch everything, (Type R+E+C );
If the Exception is checked, you must either fob it off on the caller, with the throws clause or catch it yourself. Unchecked Exceptions are ones like running out of RAM that, in general you can’t do much about, or that are not associated with specific problematic code, or that are very common such as IllegalArgumentException or NullPointerException. You don’t have to catch unchecked Exceptions or explicitly fob them off on the caller with throws. The classification of an Exception is not an exact science. It is a little bit like the arbitrary assignment of gender in French or German to objects. You just have to look it up. There is a major clue, Error Exceptions end in the string “Error” while checked Exceptions and RuntimeExceptions end in the string “Exception”.
