Why can't the "Statements following the structure" be used to close a file that the method has opened?
These statements will not execute if the try block throws an
unhandled Exception.
If the last catch block catches Exception,
then it will catch any type of Exception not caught
in the preceeding blocks.
Do this so the user sees a pleasant error message rather than a
confusing stack trace.
In the following excerpt,
ArithmeticExceptions are caught in the first block,
and all other Exceptions in the 2nd block.
try
{
System.out.print("Enter the numerator: ");
num = scan.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the divisor : ");
div = scan.nextInt();
System.out.println( num + " / " + div + " is " + (num/div) + " rem " + (num%div) );
}
catch (ArithmeticException ex )
{
System.out.println("You can't divide " + num + " by " + div);
}
catch (Exception ex )
{
System.out.println("Something went wrong." );
}
System.out.println("Good-by" );
Where will a RunTimeException be caught?
