When the catch block finishes execution ...

When the code in the catch block has completed execution, control is transferred to the first executable statement following the catch block as shown in Listing 9 .

Listing 9 . Code following the catch block.
System.out.println( "Out of catch block");}//end main }//end class Excep16

That executable statement is a print statement that produces the output shown in Figure 13 .

Summary

This module has covered many of the details having to do with exception handling in Java. By now, you should know that the use of exception handling isnot optional in Java, and you should have a pretty good idea how to use exception handling in a beneficial way.

Along the way, the discussion has included the following topics:

  • What is an exception?
  • How do you throw and catch exceptions?
  • What do you do with an exception once you have caught it?
  • How do you make use of the exception class hierarchy provided by the Java development environment?

What's next?

That concludes the "Essence of OOP" portion of the ITSE 2321 sub-collection. The series is continued in the ITSE 2317 sub-collection.
