Question

Which of the following keyword is used by calling function to handle exception thrown by called function?

(a) throws

(b) throw

(c) try

(d) catch

This question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

Question is from Exception Handling in section Exception Handling of Java

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) throws

To explain I would say: A method specifies behaviour of being capable of causing exception. Throws clause in the method declaration guards caller of the method from exception.
