How many statements in a try/catch statement?

Question

Should I put multiple statements in a try and then catch all possible exceptions, or should I put only one statement in the try statement?

Example:

Answer 1

If they are truly separate like that, then the first is better practice, simply because it's shorter.

However, if it's possible for MaybeThrowIOException() to throw a FooBarException, or for MaybeThrowFooBarException() to throw a IOException, then you should only wrap them together if you want them both to take the same action upon an exception!
