Throwing an Exception

• An Exception is an object, just like any other.
• When instantiating it, you can either pass in no arguments, or you can pass in a String message.
• To throw it, you just have to type throw and then the object itself.
• Examples:
throw new Exception("Optional Message");
throw new Exception();
Exception e = new Exception()
throw e;
• Just make sure that all Exceptions you throw are both declared in the method signature and caught in the calling method.
