The throw keyword is used to throw an exception that may be generated in a code block. Ex: if (some condition){ throw new CannotProcessFileException("InvalidFile"); } The throws keyword is used in method signatures to signify the fact that, this method would be throwing exceptions of the type specified if the code in the method happens to generate one. Ex: public String getNameFromDB(int id) throws SQLException {

How does a try statement determine which catch clause should be used to handle an exception?
When an exception is thrown within the body of a try statement,
the catch clauses of the try statement are examined in the order in
which they appear. The first catch clause that is capable of
handling the exception that was thrown, is executed. The remaining
catch clauses are ignored

How exception handling differs in C plus plus and Java?
Exception handling is largely the same for both. The only real
difference is that C++ has no 'finally' clause which always
executes whether an exception occurs or not. Another difference is
that Java throws exceptions and errors, but errors cannot be
handled since programs cannot handle errors -- such as the JVM out
of memory error.

What is the difference between throw and throws in Java?
Throw is used to actually throw the exception, whereas
throws is declarative for the method. They are not
interchangeable.
public void myMethod(int param) throws MyException
{
if (param < 10)
{
throw new MyException("Too low!);
}
//Blah, Blah, Blah...
} The Throw clause can be used in any part of code where you
feel a specific exception needs to be thrown to the calling
method.
If a method is throwing an exception, it should either be

What will happen if an exception does not have a matching catch clause?
The exception will be passed up the call stack. If there is no
handler on the call stack, the program will terminate with an
unhandled exception error. This is why your main function must have
a catch-all exception handler. If your program could throw, always
assume it will throw.

What is throw exception in java?
The presence of the keywords "throws exception" on a method
signature means that, the method may throw an exception whhich it
does not handle. It also means that the method that is calling or
invoking it has to handle such exceptions. If the calling method
does not handle that exception it would have to in turn use the
same "throws exception" clause and throw it to its parent
method.

What is checked exception?
A compiler for the Java programming language checks, at compile
time, that a program contains handlers for checked
exceptions, by analyzing which checked exceptions can result
from execution of a method or constructor. For each checked
exception which is a possible result, the throws clause for the
method or constructor must mention the class of that exception or
one of the superclasses of the class of that exception. This
compile-time checking for the presence of exception handlers is
designed to reduce the number...

What is the grammatical name for if he is lucky?
The use of 'IF' in this short clause (from a longer sentence)
makes it a conditional clause.
The longer sentence will have at least two parts, an
if-clause, and a

In the context of the example given in the question, the
if-clause means that something must happen

For example,
