Java question

[Bluga]

class ExceptionTest{
public static void main(String args[]){
try{
methodA();
}catch(IOException e){
System.out.println("caught IOException");
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("caught Exception");
}
}

public void method(){
throws IOException();
}
}

If methodA() throws a IOException, what is the result?

Why the program doesn't complie?

If that is your exact code and you didn't type something wrong then it needs to be

public void methodA(){
throws IOException();
}


You just left the A off the end of the method. If that isn't it, could you post the actual error message you are getting?

It has to be:

public void methoda() throws IOException
{
}


Notice that throws clause isn't inside the brackets.

Absolutely correct. I can't believe I missed that. 🙂
