Exception Handling
Comparison with exception handling in Java

The catch or specify principle: A method either catches and handles an exception, or it specifies that it may throw the exception

  • In Java

    • the signatures of methods are extended with a throws clause

      • tells that the method may throw a given exceptions

    • a branch of the exception hierarchy - the so-called RuntimeExceptions - is exempted from the catch or specify principle

  • In C#

    • all exceptions correspond to Java RuntimeExceptions
