In Java, you can use the throw
statement to throw an exception. The throw
statement allows you to throw an exception manually, rather than having it thrown automatically by the Java runtime when an error occurs.
Here's an example of how to use the throw
statement to throw an exception in Java:
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { try { int x = 1; int y = 0; if (y == 0) { throw new ArithmeticException("Division by zero"); } int z = x / y; } catch (ArithmeticException ex) { System.out.println(ex.getMessage()); } } }
In this example, an ArithmeticException
is thrown manually using the throw
statement if the value of y
is zero. The ArithmeticException
is caught in the catch
block and the exception's message is printed.
You can use the throw
statement to throw any exception that you want, including a custom exception that you define yourself. Just use the throw
statement followed by a new instance of the exception you want to throw.
