JAVA: Cek & Uncek Exception di Java
An exception is an unwanted or unexpected event, which occurs during the execution of a program i.e at run time, that disrupts the normal flow of the program’s instructions. In Java, there are two types of exceptions:
- Checked exceptions
- Unchecked exceptions
Checked Exceptions
These are the exceptions that are checked at compile time. If some code within a method throws a checked exception, then the method must either handle the exception or it must specify the exception using the throws keyword.
For example, consider the following Java program that opens the file at location “C:\test\a.txt” and prints the first three lines of it. The program doesn’t compile, because the function main() uses FileReader() and FileReader() throws a checked exception FileNotFoundException. It also uses readLine() and close() methods, and these methods also throw checked exception IOException
Example:
// Java Program to Illustrate Checked Exceptions
// Where FileNotFoundException occured
// Importing I/O classes
import java.io.*;
// Main class
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Reading file from path in local directory
FileReader file = new FileReader("C:\\test\\a.txt");
// Creating object as one of ways of taking input
BufferedReader fileInput = new BufferedReader(file);
// Printing first 3 lines of file "C:\test\a.txt"
for (int counter = 0; counter < 3; counter++)
System.out.println(fileInput.readLine());
// Closing file connections
// using close() method
fileInput.close();
}
}
Output:
To fix the above program, we either need to specify a list of exceptions using throws, or we need to use a try-catch block. We have used throws in the below program. Since FileNotFoundException is a subclass of IOException, we can just specify IOException in the throws list and make the above program compiler-error-free.
Example:
// Java Program to Illustrate Checked Exceptions
// Where FileNotFoundException does not occur
// Importing I/O classes
import java.io.*;
// Main class
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main(String[] args)
throws IOException
{
// Creating a file and reading from local repository
FileReader file = new FileReader("C:\\test\\a.txt");
// Reading content inside a file
BufferedReader fileInput = new BufferedReader(file);
// Printing first 3 lines of file "C:\test\a.txt"
for (int counter = 0; counter < 3; counter++)
System.out.println(fileInput.readLine());
// Closing all file connections
// using close() method
// Good practice to avoid any memory leakage
fileInput.close();
}
}
Output:
First three lines of file "C:\test\a.txt"
Unchecked Exceptions
These are the exceptions that are not checked at compile time. In C++, all exceptions are unchecked, so it is not forced by the compiler to either handle or specify the exception. It is up to the programmers to be civilized, and specify or catch the exceptions. In Java exceptions under Error and RuntimeException classes are unchecked exceptions, everything else under throwable is checked.
Consider the following Java program. It compiles fine, but it throws ArithmeticException when run. The compiler allows it to compile because ArithmeticException is an unchecked exception.
Example:
// Java Program to Illustrate Un-checked Exceptions
// Main class
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Here we are dividing by 0
// which will not be caught at compile time
// as there is no mistake but caught at runtime
// because it is mathematically incorrect
int x = 0;
int y = 10;
int z = y / x;
}
}
Output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
at Main.main(Main.java:5)
Java Result: 1
