This indicates that the method throws some exception and the caller method
should take care of handling it.
In Core Java, the throws clause in a method declaration is used to indicate that the method may throw one or more specified exceptions during its execution. When a method is declared with a throws clause, it means that the method is not handling the specified exceptions within its body, and it expects the calling code to handle or propagate those exceptions.
Here is a brief explanation:
public void exampleMethod() throws SomeException {
// Method implementation
// This method may throw SomeException
}
In the example above, SomeException is the type of exception that the exampleMethod may throw. When you call this method, the calling code needs to either catch the SomeException or declare it in its own throws clause.
For example:
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
exampleMethod();
} catch (SomeException e) {
// Handle the exception
}
}// Method implementation
}
}
In this case, the main method catches the SomeException that may be thrown by exampleMethod or declares it in its own throws clause.
