Also worth noting that the exercises use the BufferedReader class http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/BufferedReader.html
which is part of Java.io and some of the methods "throw" (if something throws and exception it must be handled) an IOException error which has to be handled in some way. If you use netbeans it will ask you to either add a try-catch block or "throws" thing when calling the BufferedReader method The homework doesn't use this class so the try catch stuff isn't required for the code to compile. The section on Exception handling with cover this I guess. So I agree it's good to have it but not for this homework Jas On Aug 20, 6:56 am, miga <[email protected]> wrote: > On Aug 20, 7:52 am, Don <[email protected]> wrote:> In the lead up discussions > prior to the homework exercise, we are told > > to use a try{catch{}} as part of using the BufferedReader method. > > When we move on to the JOptionPane method, the example in the exercise > > before the homework part does not include any try{catch{}} type > > mechanism.
