Java Nested try block

The try block within a try block is known as nested try block in java.

Usage nested try block

Sometimes a situation may arise where a part of a block may cause one error and the entire block itself may cause another error. In such cases, exception handlers have to be nested.

Syntax

snippet

....
try
{
    statement 1;
    statement 2;
    try
    {
        statement 1;
        statement 2;
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
    }
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
....

Example

Let's see a simple example of java nested try block.

snippet

class Excep6{
 public static void main(String args[]){
  try{
    try{
     System.out.println("going to divide");
     int b =39/0;
    }catch(ArithmeticException e){System.out.println(e);}
 
    try{
    int a[]=new int[5];
    a[5]=4;
    }catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e){System.out.println(e);}
   
    System.out.println("other statement);
  }catch(Exception e){System.out.println("handeled");}

  System.out.println("normal flow..");
 }
}
