Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Computer Programming (Java) 12 Self-Learning Module on

Throw and Throws Statements in Java!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

Welcome to the Computer Programming (Java) 12 Self-Learning Module on

Throw and Throws Statements in Java!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

entire module.
 EXPECTATIONS

After completing this lesson, you should be able to:

1. describe the Throw and Throws Statements in Java,

2. understand the importance of Throw and Throws Statements in coding,
and
3. apply the concept of Throw and Throws Statements in accordance to
Java framework.

 LESSON

Throw and Throws Statements

The Throw keyword is used to create a custom error. The throw statement is
used together with an exception type. There are many exception types available in
Java: ArithmeticException, ClassNotFoundException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExce
ptions, SecurityException, etc. The exception type is often used together with a
custom method.

Throws is a keyword in Java which is used in the signature of method to

indicate that this method might throw one of the listed type exceptions. The caller to
these methods has to handle the exception using a try-catch block.

Important points to remember about throws keyword:

• throws keyword is required only for checked exception and usage of throws
keyword for unchecked exception is meaningless.
• throws keyword is required only to convince compiler and usage of throws
keyword does not prevent abnormal termination of program.
• By the help of throws keyword we can provide information to the caller of the
method about the exception.

The following are difference between throw and throws:

Throw Throws
Used to throw an exception for a method Used to indicate what exception type
may be thrown by a method
Cannot throw multiple exceptions Can declare multiple exceptions
Syntax:
Syntax:
• throw is followed by an object
(new type) • throws is followed by a class
• used inside the method • and used with the method
signature
 ACTIVITIES

DIRECTIONS: Create a simple code/program that would output at 4 different Types

of Throw Exception that returns message of “This is the error message”. Put the
answer in “// Insert the Throw Exception here” and use the template below in the compiler.

public class Main

{
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Insert the Throw Exception here. 
}
catch (Exception exp) {
System.out.println("Error: "+exp.getMessage());
}
}
}
