public class ExceptionTest
{
class TestException extends Exception {}
public void runTest() throws TestException {}
public void test() /* Point X */
{
runTest();
}
}


At Point X on line 5, which code is necessary to make the code compile?


Options:
A .  No code is necessary.
B .  throws Exception
C .  catch ( Exception e )
D .  throws RuntimeException
Answer: Option B

Option B is correct. This works because it DOES throw an exception if an error occurs.

Option A is wrong. If you compile the code as given the compiler will complain:

"unreported exception must be caught or declared to be thrown" The class extends Exception 

so we are forced to test for exceptions.

Option C is wrong. The catch statement belongs in a method body not a method specification.

Option D is wrong. TestException is a subclass of Exception therefore the test method, in this 

example, must throw TestException or some other class further up the Exception tree. Throwing RuntimeException is just not on as this belongs in the java.lang.RuntimeException

 branch (it is not a superclass of TestException). The compiler complains with the same error 

as in A above.
