Exception Handling

Although exception handling may not be considered as an OOP principle, JAVA operates and requires it. Therefore, it is useful to speak about it a little in a general sense.

We will attempt to look at the following topics briefly:

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