Ideas in this flowchart

  • Creating custom exceptions in Java
  • Create a new class to represent the exception.
  • Make the class extend RuntimeException by using the extends keyword.
  • The custom exception becomes a subclass or subtype of RuntimeException.
  • This relationship is an example of inheritance in object-oriented programming.
  • In the quadratic-polynomial example, the roots may be complex numbers.
  • A ComplexRootException class can represent this error situation.
  • The class includes a constructor that takes an error message.
  • The constructor passes the error message to the superclass with super(errorMessage).

"To create your own exceptions, you need to create a new class to represent the exception and make it extend RuntimeException by using the keyword extends. This makes your exception a subclass or subtype of the RuntimeException. This is a concept known as inheritance in OOP. Consider the example in the previous chapter of computing the roots of a quadratic polynomial. One possible error situation is when the roots are complex numbers. We could define a new Java class as follows.\n\npublic class ComplexRootException extends RuntimeException {\n\n/**\n\n* Constructor that takes an error message\n\n*/\n\npublic ComplexRootException(String errorMessage) {\n\nsuper(errorMessage);\n\n}\n\n}"
