"The code above could have resulted in other exceptions. For example if the Scanner had failed to read the next token from the standard input, it would have thrown a NoSuchElementException. We can add as many catch blocks as we want to handle each exception differently.\n\nScanner s = new Scanner(System.in);\n\nint n = 0;\n\ntry {\n\nString input = s.next();\n\nn = Integer.parseInt(input);\n\n} catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {\n\nSystem.err.println(\"You entered invalid data!\");\n\nSystem.exit(1);\n\n} catch (NoSuchElementException nsee) {\n\nSystem.err.println(\"Input reading failed, using default...\");\n\nn = 20; //a default value\n\n} catch(Exception e) {\n\nSystem.err.println(\"A general exception occurred\");\n\ne.printStackTrace();\n\nSystem.exit(1);\n\n}\n\nEach catch block catches a different type of exception. Thus, the name of the variable that holds each exception must be different in the chain of catch blocks; nfe, nsee, e."
