Custom Exceptions

In Java, you can create custom exceptions by extending the `Exception` class or one of its subclasses like `RuntimeException`. Custom exceptions are useful when you want to define your own exception types to represent specific error conditions in your application.

Syntax for creating a custom exception:

public class CustomException extends Exception {

    // Constructors, methods, and additional members can be defined here

}



Example of a custom exception:

public class InvalidAgeException extends Exception {

    public InvalidAgeException(String message) {

        super(message);

    }

}


public class AgeValidator {

    public static void validateAge(int age) throws InvalidAgeException {

        if (age < 0) {

            throw new InvalidAgeException("Age cannot be negative");

        }

        if (age < 18) {

            throw new InvalidAgeException("Must be at least 18 years old");

        }

        System.out.println("Age is valid");

    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {

            validateAge(20);

            validateAge(-5); // This will throw an InvalidAgeException

        } catch (InvalidAgeException e) {

            System.out.println("InvalidAgeException: " + e.getMessage());

        }

    }

}



In this example:

- We create a custom exception `InvalidAgeException` by extending the `Exception` class and providing a constructor to set the error message.

- The `validateAge` method throws `InvalidAgeException` if the age is negative or less than 18.

- In the `main` method, we catch `InvalidAgeException` and handle it appropriately.


Analogy:


Think of a custom exception as a specialized tool or equipment designed for a specific task. For example, in a carpentry workshop, if you encounter a particular type of material that requires a unique cutting technique, you might design a custom saw blade specifically for that material. Similarly, in Java, custom exceptions allow you to create specialized error-handling mechanisms tailored to specific error conditions in your application.

Passing and Returning Objects in Java Methods

Passing and Returning Objects in Java Methods In Java, objects can be passed as parameters to methods and returned from methods just like other primitive data types. This allows for flexibility and the manipulation of object state within methods. Let's explore how passing and returning objects work in Java. Passing Objects as Parameters When you pass an object as a parameter to a method, you are essentially passing a reference to that object. This means that changes made to the object inside the method will affect the original object outside the method.  Example: class Car {     String model;     Car(String model) {         this.model = model;     } } public class CarProcessor {     // Method to modify the Car object     static void modifyCar(Car car, String newModel) {         car.model = newModel;     }     public static void main(String[] args) {       ...

Understanding Constructors in Java: A Simple Guide with Examples and Analogies

  What is a Constructor in Java? In Java, a constructor is a special type of method that is used to initialize objects. When you create an object of a class, the constructor is called automatically. Its main job is to set the initial values of the object’s properties or perform any setup that the object needs before it can be used. Why Do We Need Constructors? You need constructors because: Initialization : Constructors are responsible for initializing an object when it is created. Automatic Execution : A constructor is automatically called when an object is created, so you don’t have to manually initialize every property. Simplifying Object Creation : It simplifies object creation by providing default values or custom initialization. Where Do Constructors Fit in Java? Constructors fit within a class. They are used whenever a new object of that class is created, and they allow the object to be initialized. Constructors must have the same name as the class, and they don't have a re...
