What is a catch statement?

May 11th, 2005 by uCertify Leave a reply »

A catch statement catches any exception that may arise during program execution. The catch statement is placed just before the list of statements that are to be run if a runtime error occurs. Depending upon what exception is being caught, one catch block may be executed. It may happen that an exception is not caught by any of the catch blocks, such as RunTimeException or Exception. A user normally catches application-specific or task-specific exceptions, and catch may not catch unchecked exceptions. Multiple catch statements can be specified after a try block so that each catch statement can handle a specific type of error. In this case, the order of the catch clauses is important because the catch statements are examined in order. The more specific exceptions are caught before the less specific ones.
