Question

How many catch blocks can a class have?

(a) Only 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) As many as required

I have been asked this question during an interview.

Enquiry is from Catching Class Types in chapter Exception Handling & Static Class Members of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) As many as required

The best explanation: There are many type of exceptions that may arise while running a code. And each catch block can handle only one exception. Hence there can be as many catch blocks as required.
