1Z0-829 Controlling Program Flow Practice Question
Order the steps to handle checked exceptions in a method that throws IOException.
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
✓
1. Locate the code that throws IOException. 2. Enclose the code in a try block. 3. Add a catch block for IOException. 4. Provide exception handling code in the catch block.
Checked exceptions must be either caught or declared in the method signature. Unhandled checked exceptions cause compilation errors.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
1. Locate the code that throws IOException. 2. Enclose the code in a try block. 3. Add a catch block for IOException. 4. Provide exception handling code in the catch block.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first identify the code that can throw the exception, then surround it with a try block, then catch the specific exception, and finally handle it appropriately.
- ✗
1. Locate the code that throws IOException. 2. Add a catch block for IOException. 3. Enclose the code in a try block. 4. Add a finally block.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a catch block must be attached to a try block; you cannot have a catch block before the try block. The finally block is also misplaced.
- ✗
1. Locate the code that throws IOException. 2. Add a finally block. 3. Add a try block. 4. Add a catch block.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a finally block must come after the try and catch blocks, not before. The ordering of try, catch, finally is fixed.
- ✗
1. Locate the code that throws IOException. 2. Continue writing code without any exception handling. 3. Assume the program will not throw IOException. 4. Compile and ignore errors.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because checked exceptions like IOException must be handled or declared; ignoring them leads to compilation errors.
