Exam 10: Exception Handling

A(n) ____________________ block includes any number of statements that might cause exceptions.

A system of passing exceptions through the chain of calling methods has great advantages because it allows methods to handle exceptions wherever the programmer has decided it is most appropriate.

Each ____________________ block can catch only one type of exception.

Only the first ____________________ statement in a try block throws an exception.

Dividing by 0 is an error in every programming language because it is an operation that is not defined mathematically.

A ____ is a segment of code that can handle an exception that might be thrown by the try block that precedes it.

You can only place one statement within each try block.

Using a traditional error-handling method to avoid dividing by 0 prevents the error and makes the method more flexible.

A catch block consists of four different elements: the keyword catch, followed by parentheses that contain an exception type and identifier, statements that take action to handle the error condition, an endcatch statement, and a return statement.

The block of code that processes an error in exception handling "____."

When a division by 0 happens during the execution of a method, the application that calls the method typically terminates, control returns to the operating system, and a(n) ____________________ is generated.

____________________ code statements are program statements that can never execute under any circumstances.

When an exception is created and ____________________, the catch block that follows and contains an Exception argument executes.

A ____ is one that sends an exception object out of a method so it can be handled elsewhere.

____ statements are program statements that can never execute under any circumstances.

To create your own throwable exception, you usually ____________________ a built-in Exception class.

As opposed to exception handling, program ____________________ is abrupt and unforgiving.

____ is thrown when an object reference does not correctly refer to a created object.

To create your own throwable Exception, you usually extend a built-in ____ class.

If method A calls method B and method B throws an exception, which method will catch the exception, assuming all methods have a catch block?
