Please let me know .

Answer 1

If you execute the following example, you will know the difference between a Throw and a Catch block.

In general terms:

The catch block will handle the Exception

throws will pass the error to his caller.

In the following example, the error occurs in the throwsMethod() but it is handled in the catchMethod().

public class CatchThrow {

private static void throwsMethod() throws NumberFormatException {
    String  intNumber = "5A";

    Integer.parseInt(intNumber);
}

private static void catchMethod() {
    try {

        throwsMethod();

    } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
        System.out.println("Convertion Error");
    }

}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    catchMethod();
}

}
