Does the implementation of an abstract method in Java needs throws someException declaration if the abstract method has it?

Question

In the superclass I have:

abstract someMethod() throws someException;

In the subclass I have:

someMethod(){/*do something*/}

Is it ok to do this without a throws someException declaration? Is it that the throws someException declaration is there by default without adding it explicitly?

Answer 1

Your implementation doesn’t have to throw any exceptions. However, it can only throw checked exceptions specified in the abstract class.
