1. What is an exception? 2 K1 CO3
How the exceptions are handled in java? OR Explain
2. 2 K1 CO3
exception handling mechanism in java?
3. Differentiate between error and exception in java? 2 K2 CO3
Can we keep other statements in between try, catch and
4. 2 K1 CO3
finally blocks?
Can we write only try block without catch and finally
5. 2 K1 CO3
blocks?
There are three statements in a try block – statement1,
statement2 and statement3. After that there is a catch
block to catch the exceptions occurred in the try block.
Assume that exception has occurred in statement2. Does
6. 2 K3 CO3
statement3 get executed or not?
7. What is unreachable catch block error? 2 K2 CO3
8. Explain the hierarchy of exceptions in java? 2 K1 CO3
9. What are run time exceptions in java. Give example? 2 K2 CO3
10. What is OutOfMemoryError in java? 2 K1 CO3
11. What are checked and unchecked exceptions in java? 2 K1 CO3
Differentiate between ClassNotFoundException and
12. 2 K1 CO3
NoClassDefFoundError in java?
Can we keep the statements after finally block If the
13. 2 K2 CO3
control is returning from the finally block itself?
Does finally block get executed If either try or catch
14. 2 K1 CO3
blocks are returning the control?
15. Can we throw an exception manually? If yes, how? 2 K1 CO3
16. What is Re-throwing an exception in java? 2 K2 CO3
17. What is the use of throws keyword in java? 2 K2 CO3
Why it is always recommended that clean up operations
like closing the DB resources to keep inside a finally
18. 2 K3 CO3
block?
19. Differentiate between final, finally and finalize in java 2 K2 CO3
20. How do you create customized exceptions in java? 2 K1 CO3
