I just started learning exceptions and need to catch an exception

To throw an exception

throw new IOException("Something happened")

To catch this exception is better not use Exception because is to much generic, instead, catch the specific exception that you know how to handle:

try {
  //code that can generate exception...
}catch( IOException io ) {
  // I know how to handle this...
}
