Throw&Throws

In Java, the throw and throws keywords are essential for exception handling, but they serve different purposes.

The throw keyword is used to explicitly throw an exception from a method or a block of code. For example, you might use throw to signal that an error condition has occurred, such as throwing a custom exception when a certain condition is met. The syntax looks like this: throw new SomeException();. This action transfers control to the nearest catch block that can handle the exception.

On the other hand, the throws keyword is used in a method declaration to indicate that a method can throw certain exceptions. This informs the caller of the method that they need to handle these exceptions, either with a try-catch block or by declaring them in their own method signature. For instance, public void someMethod() throws SomeException {} indicates that someMethod may throw SomeException ⁴⁵.

Understanding the distinction between these two keywords is crucial for effective exception handling in Java.
