Throws rule in java

Question

These days, I have been trying to learn java, But I am confused about Throws exceptions. is this statement correct?: Throws in method signature causes an exception (or some exceptions) throw to another method that is calling this method. and caller method has try/catch to handle thrown exception.

Thanks in advance. Farrohk

Answer 1

Neither statement is correct.

Throws in method signature causes an exception (or some exceptions) throw to another method that is calling this method

Declaring that a method throws an exception just indicates that it might throw the exception, not that it does.

and caller method has try/catch to handle thrown exception.

The caller can declare that it throws the same exception, rather than try/catching, so the exception is propagated to that method's caller.
