The proper catch block is determined by matching the type of the exception to the name of the exception specified in the catch block. If there is no specific catch block, the exception is caught by a general catch block, if one exists. The sample creates a class called Employee with a single property, employee level Emlevel. A method, PromoteEmployee , takes an object and increments the employee level.

It means catching an exception to just write to a log or worse, do nothing at all, leaves the app in an unknown state. Maybe something that shouldn't be null will be, or something that should have been saved wouldn't. You are just sweeping the dirt under the rug. If you are going to catch an exception do it because you can do something about it so the app can continue its execution in a known and expected state. Catch an exception when you actually can do something about the problem that caused it or at least leave the app in a consistent state.
But, as everything in this programming world, there are exceptions no pun intended : Sometimes in a finally block you try to close a database resource that could or could have not been initialized. Improve this answer. In that case, I would argue that the empty catch block is handling the exception. It's just a degenerate case because there isn't any actual work that the handler needs to do.
RobertHarvey Not a technical term. It's similar to pass along , to relay. In early development, it helps me catch the "BoneHeaded" exceptions Eric Lippert refers to. Being human, there always seem to be some of these. After I think I've caught them all, the fact that I do have a log may still show me things I did not consider earlier. Whether or not the exception is "recoverable" is beside the point if I did not consider the possibility of it being raised in the first place.
By the time the code is ready to be called "Production", logging in many cases is all the handing that remains. Show 8 more comments. It means not littering your code with exception handlers. Jon Raynor Jon Raynor I see empty catch blocks all the time here. When I ask the programmer about it, the answer is almost invariably: "I don't want the program to crash".
This is also sometimes referred to as 'Pokemon exception handling' gotta catch em all. If an application can a abort the operation that was using loads of memory; b let the gc reclaim the loads of memory it was using; c inform the user that the operation couldn't be completed; d survive any OOM-killer or similar that the OS has; then it can continue.
I want it to cleanly fail to open that file or you know, if we're wishing, I want it to manage the text file without loading the whole thing into memory at once, but we can't have everything. Some operations use a lot of memory. Maybe my memory example does not fit all use cases. Show 2 more comments. Cort Ammon Cort Ammon Bill K Bill K 2, 17 17 silver badges 18 18 bronze badges.

Generally, when you compile a program, if it gets compiled without a. Such cases are known as exceptions. Each possible exception is represented by a predefined class you can find all the classes of exception in java.
You can also define your own exception. Certain exceptions are prompted at compile time and are known as compile time exceptions or, checked exceptions. When such exceptions occur you need to handle them using try-catch block or, throw them postpone the handling using the throws keyword.
