00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Exception Handling. |
00:06 | In this tutorial we will learn about: What is an exception Checked and unchecked exceptions Handling the exceptions using try-catch block and finally block . |
00:20 | Here we are using Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS JDK 1 .8 and Eclipse 4.3.1 |
00:32 | To follow this tutorial, you must have knowledge of basics of Java and Eclipse IDE. |
00:39 | If not, for relevant Java tutorials, please visit the link shown. |
00:45 | An exception is an unexpected event, which occurs during the execution of a program. |
00:52 | It interrupts the normal flow of the program and results in an abnormal termination. |
01:00 | Based on their occurrence, exceptions are classified as unchecked exceptions and checked exceptions. |
01:08 | Now we will open eclipse and create a new project called ExceptionDemo. |
01:16 | Inside this project we will create the necessary classes to demonstrate exception handling. |
01:24 | We will create a new class Marks. |
01:28 | Now type the following code to represent the Marks class. |
01:34 | This program prints the marks of 5 students that is stored in an array marks. |
01:41 | Let us run this program and verify the output. |
01:45 | We can see that the values in the array are getting printed. |
01:50 | Let us check what will happen if we are trying to access an array element which is not existing. |
01:57 | Now type the following code. |
02:00 | We know that there are only 5 elements in our array. |
02:04 | But in this statement we are trying to access the element at index 50 which is not existing. |
02:12 | Let us run this program now. |
02:15 | We can see that the program terminates with an error message:“ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException “at line number 7. |
02:25 | The error message indicates the details of the exception like type of exception
where it occurred and other details. |
02:35 | Note that the print statement is not executed as the program terminates after the error. |
02:42 | This is an example of Unchecked exception. |
02:46 | Unchecked exceptions are called as Runtime exception as it is checked only during the execution. |
02:54 | They handle the programming bugs and logical errors such as Dividing a number by zero and Accessing an array element which is not existing . |
03:07 | Now let us learn about how to handle an exception using try catch block. |
03:13 | This portion of the code within a try block, can possibly raise an exception. |
03:19 | The corresponding catch block can receive the exception details in object e. |
03:26 | Inside the catch block we can write the code for displaying error messages or recovering from the error. |
03:34 | Now let us switch to eclipse. |
03:37 | First let us add a try block around the code which caused the exception like this. |
03:44 | Now we have to add a corresponding catch block. |
03:48 | So type the following code. |
03:51 | Here we are printing a custom message “Array Overflow Exception occurred” |
03:57 | Inside the round brackets we have created an instance of ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. |
04:05 | So this block can catch exceptions of type ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. |
04:11 | Now let us run the program. |
04:14 | We can see that the error message gets printed. |
04:18 | But this time, note that printing the marks array is also executed. |
04:24 | In this way we can handle exceptions. |
04:27 | Next let us see how to use multiple catch blocks. |
04:32 | We can use them when different types of exceptions are raised by a block. |
04:38 | Type the following code inside the try block. |
04:42 | This line of code divides an array element by zero as the value of a is zero. |
04:49 | So an ArithmeticException will be raised first. |
04:53 | Let us now add one more catch block to handle the ArithmeticException. |
04:58 | So type the following code after the existing catch block. |
05:03 | Let us run the program again. |
05:06 | This time the error message "Arithmetic Exception occurred" gets printed as it is caught first. |
05:13 | The remaining portion of the code outside the try catch block executes. |
05:19 | Next let us see about checked exceptions. |
05:23 | Checked exceptions are checked at compile time. |
05:27 | So they must be handled before running the program. |
05:31 | For example: Accessing a file which is not existing or Accessing a network system when the network is down . |
05:41 | Now let us switch to Eclipse and create a new class MarksFile. |
05:47 | Let us add main method. |
05:50 | Now we want to read a file located in the computer. |
05:54 | So type the following code. |
05:57 | Here the FileReader object fr is initialized as null. |
06:03 | FileReader object can be used to access and read a particular file. |
06:08 | Eclipse will show an error. |
06:11 | To rectify the error, click on it and double click import FileReader java dot io. |
06:19 | The FileReader class is imported from the java dot io package. |
06:25 | We will learn about package and its usage in detail in a later tutorial. |
06:31 | To allow fr to access a file called Marks which is located in the home folder, type the following code. |
06:40 | The path shown here is to be replaced with that of your system's home folder. |
06:46 | Now an error comes up. It indicates that this line of code can create a FileNotFoundException. |
06:55 | Click on the error and double click Surround with try/catch. |
07:00 | We can see that Eclipse automatically inserts the try catch block to rectify this error. |
07:08 | So we can understand that this is a checked exception. |
07:12 | Next let us see how to use finally block. |
07:16 | Type the following code. |
07:18 | finally block usually follows a try-catch block . |
07:22 | The code inside this block is executed whether exception has occurred or not. It contains a print statement. |
07:32 | Now let us close the file reference inside the finally block. |
07:37 | So type, fr dot close |
07:40 | Now Eclipse indicates that this will raise an IOException. |
07:45 | So click on the error and double click Surround with try/catch. |
07:51 | Now let us run the program. |
07:54 | We can see that FileNotFoundException message is printed. |
07:59 | This is because we don't have a file named Marks in our home folder. |
08:04 | We can also see a NullPointerException as fr still refers to a null value. |
08:12 | But we can see that the print statement inside finally block gets executed. |
08:18 | Let us now create a text file Marks in our home folder. |
08:23 | If you are a windows user, create a text file in your local drive and mention its path. |
08:29 | For example it can be specified as D:\\Marks.txt |
08:37 | Let us now run the program again. |
08:40 | We can verify that there are no exceptions once the Marks file is created. |
08:46 | And “Inside finally block” gets printed. |
08:50 | The cleanup operation i.e closing the FileReader Object fr is also executed successfully. |
08:58 | With this we come to the end of this tutorial. |
09:02 | Let us summarize. |
09:04 | In this tutorial we have learnt about: What is an Exception Checked and Unchecked Exceptions Handling the Exceptions using the try-catch block finally block . |
09:17 | As an assignment, Learn about another Runtime Exception called NullPointerException. |
09:24 | Refer to the Java program named Demo.java provided in the Assignment link of this tutorial. |
09:31 | An exception will be raised when you run this code. |
09:35 | Identify the code which is responsible for the exception. |
09:40 | Rectify it using a try-catch block. |
