Why is “throws Exception” necessary when calling a function?

Question

class throwseg1
{
    void show() throws Exception
    {
        throw new Exception(\"my.own.Exception\");
    }

    void show2() throws Exception  // Why throws i         


        

Answer 1

If you propagate the exception by declaring the throws directive in the signature of the current method, then somewhere up the line or call stack a try/catch construct must be used to handle the exception.
