Question 102 of 513
1Z0-829 Handling Exceptions Practice Question
A team is designing a logging framework. The framework's core method log(String message) may throw a checked LogException if the logging system fails. The team wants to allow callers to choose whether to handle the exception or declare it as thrown. Which declaration of the log method satisfies this requirement?
⚠ Common exam trap
Oracle often tests the distinction between checked and unchecked exceptions, and the trap here is that candidates may think omitting throws or using RuntimeException/Error allows callers to choose, but only a checked exception declared with throws enforces the handling-or-declaring choice at compile time.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
public void log(String message) throws LogException { ... }
It declares the checked exception LogException in the throws clause, which forces callers to either handle it with a try-catch or propagate it by declaring throws in their own method. This satisfies the requirement that callers can choose how to deal with the exception, as checked exceptions must be acknowledged at compile time.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
public void log(String message) throws LogException { ... }
Why this is correct
Checked exception forces caller to handle or declare.
- ✗
public void log(String message) { ... }
Why it's wrong here
Cannot throw checked exception without declaration.
- ✗
public void log(String message) throws Error { ... }
Why it's wrong here
Error is for serious JVM issues, not appropriate.
- ✗
public void log(String message) throws RuntimeException { ... }
Why it's wrong here
RuntimeException is unchecked; callers are not forced to handle.
