Exceptions

In Java programming, errors can arise during code execution, and it is vital to manage these errors effectively. These errors may stem from incorrect inputs or unexpected situations. Appropriate error handling is essential to maintain program reliability and offer informative feedback to users when errors occur. These error scenarios are typically known as exceptions in Java.

Try and Catch block in Java

The try and catch block usually come in pair in Java programming.

  • Try block - executes some code after testing it.
  • Catch block - if error occurs in the try block, catch block is executed.

Finally block

The finally block, if provided, is executed regardless of whether an exception is thrown or caught. It is often used for cleanup tasks.
