UNIT 3 Session 2

The document provides an overview of multiple catch blocks in Object Oriented Programming, specifically for handling different types of exceptions in Java. It outlines the rules for using multiple catch blocks, including the requirement to order them from most specific to most general. An example code snippet is included to illustrate the implementation of multiple catch blocks in a try-catch structure.

Multiple catch blocks

• Multiple catch is used to handle many different kind of exceptions


that may be generated while running the program. i.e more than one
catch clause in a single try block can be used.
•
• Rules:
• At a time only one Exception can occur and at a time only one catch block is
executed.
• All catch blocks must be ordered from most specific to most general
i.e. catch for ArithmeticException must come before catch for Exception.
•
Syntax
• Syntax:
•
• try {
• // Code block
• }
• catch (ExceptionType1 e1) {
• // Handle ExceptionType1 exceptions
• }
• catch (ExceptionType2 e2) {
• // Handle ExceptionType2 exceptions
• }
• Example:
•
• public class MultipleCatchBlock2 { public static void main(String[] args) {
• try
• {
• int a[]= {1,5,10,15,16};
• System.out.println("a[1] = "+a[1]);
• System.out.println("a[2]/a[3] = "+a[2]/a[3]);
• System.out.println("a[5] = "+a[5]);
• }
• catch(ArithmeticException e)
• {
• System.out.println("Arithmetic Exception occurs");
• }
• catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e)
• {
• System.out.println("ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception occurs");
• }
• catch(Exception e)
• {
• System.out.println("Parent Exception occurs");

• }
• System.out.println("rest of the code");
• }
• }
