Handling Errors: Advanced Topics in Exceptions

IN THIS COURSE

• 1.  Course Overview
  2m 25s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about your instructor and this course. In this course, you’ll learn how you can throw an exception based on your own set of conditions in Java. You’ll employ the throw keyword to explicitly throw an exception. Then, you’ll add complexity to your code by throwing different exceptions based on different conditions. You’ll also look into how nested function calls influence exception throwing as well as handling. FREE ACCESS
• 2.  Throwing Exceptions Proactively
  11m 37s
  In this video, you’ll learn about proactively throwing an exception. You’ll see this is especially useful if you build interfaces that are consumed by other developers. In this demo, you’ll see there's a new source file and class called ThrowExceptions. You’ll start with some code. In this example, you’ll need to import the Scanner class and then you’ll take a look at the main method. FREE ACCESS
• 3.  Throwing Multiple Exceptions
  10m 14s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. In this demo, you’ll build upon the last demo and define a function that can throw two exceptions. To start off, you’ll clear out the main function, and then in the inputs, beyond the Scanner class, you’ll include javax.naming.InvalidNameException. You’ll see this is something that can be thrown in the event an invalid name is supplied to a function. FREE ACCESS
• 4.  Chaining Exceptions
  8m 36s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. In this demo, you’ll see it’s possible to spread the handlers across the call stack methods. You’ll leave the validateStudent function as is, but you’ll modify the intermediateFunction. In this case, it handles both of the exceptions that could be thrown by validateStudent. You’ll change it so that it only handles the IllegalArgumentException and throws along the InvalidNameException. FREE ACCESS
• 5.  Defining Custom Exceptions and Errors
  8m 36s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. In this demo, you’ll see that you might need to define your own exception classes. You’ll learn how to do that here. Onscreen, you’ll see a new class within your project called InvalidUsernameException. This is a custom exception. You might create something like this if you want it to be more specific in the case of an invalid username input. FREE ACCESS
• 6.  Course Summary
  1m 52s
  In this video, you’ll summarize what you’ve learned in this course. In this course, you’ve learned how to throw exceptions proactively and the various options available in Java in this regard. You learned how to throw an exception based on your own conditions in a Java program. You then added complexity to your code by throwing different exceptions based on different sets of conditions and covered how this can be handled separately.  FREE ACCESS
