CAN I THROW EXCEPTION IN BLOCK "try" AMD IMMEDIATELY CATCH IT IN "catch" BLOCK

CAN I THROW EXCEPTION IN BLOCK "try" AMD IMMEDIATELY CATCH IT IN "catch" BLOCK

So, can I do something like this:

    try {
        ...
        throw new RuntimeException();

    }catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

and get RuntimeException() StackTrace ?

>Solution :

You can do that: it would be legal Java to do so. However, you don’t need to.

Although Exceptions (or, more generally, Throwables) are typically only created in a throw new SomeKindOfException();-type statement, they’re just objects like any other: you can create them without throwing them, assign them to variables, return them from methods etc.

So, you can more easily just do:

new RuntimeException().printStackTrace();
