exception class object from the function to the calling

Answer / senthil nathan
throws: If a method is not capable of handling the raised
exception and it wants the caller of the method to
handle the exception means then the method uses the
"throws" keyword... The exception raised here is
of System Exception not User Exception...
throw: If the method is capable of handling the exception
by using try&catch block then this method uses the
"throw" keyword.. It is also used to raise our own
exception.

Answer / kanhaiya sharma
throws :- throws clause is used when programmer does
not want to handle to the exception and throw it out of a
method.
throw :- throw clause is used when programmer wants to
throw an exception explicitely and wants to handle it using
catch block. hence throws and throw is contradictory.
