Chapter 9.1, Problem 7STQ

Explanation of Solution

“throw” statement:

  • • The keyword “throw” is used to throw an exception from the program. It is possible to throw either checked or unchecked exception.
  • • When an exception is thrown using “throw” keyword, the “try” block ends and the statements inside that block will not get executed. The control directly goes to the subsequent “catch” block whose parameter matches the exception object.

Example program:

//Main Class

class Main

{

    //Main method

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

/*A variable is declared and a value is assigned*/

        int value = 9;

        //Try block

        try

        {

            //Check if value is greater than 30

            if(value < 10)

                //Throw an exception

throw new Exception("Value is lesser");

            //Print the message

System...

Is the SecurityException type a checked or unchecked exception in the java.lang package? Must we not throw NoSuchMethodException? Be sure to provide reasons for your answers.
Re-run the code and verify that you are now creating Person objects. (Why do you think we did not need an import statement for you Person class like we did with the Scanner?) Also the output below seems to suggest there is a bug or some unintended behaviour -can you spot what it is?
