Should ArithmeticException
appear before
RunTimeException
in the list of catch
blocks?
Yes.
If RunTimeException
appeared first, then
its catch
block would catch all RunTimeException
s,
including ArithmeticException
s.
A more compact way of showing the hierarchy is:
Exception IOException AWTException RunTimeException ArithmeticException NoSuchElementException InputMismatchException IndexOutOfBoundsException Others Others
Don't memorize this diagram (for one thing, it is far from complete). But look at it to see what it says.
Which should come first in the catch
blocks:
ArithmeticException
or IndexOutOfBoundsException
?
