Example:
// File Name InsufficientFundsException.java import java.io.*; public class InsufficientFundsException extends Exception { private double amount; public InsufficientFundsException(double amount) { this.amount = amount; } public double getAmount() { return amount; } } |
To demonstrate using our user-defined exception, the following CheckingAccount class contains a withdraw() method that throws an InsufficientFundsException.
// File Name CheckingAccount.java import java.io.*; public class CheckingAccount { private double balance; private int number; public CheckingAccount(int number) { this.number = number; } public void deposit(double amount) { balance += amount; } public void withdraw(double amount) throws InsufficientFundsException { if(amount <= balance) { balance -= amount; } else { double needs = amount - balance; throw new InsufficientFundsException(needs); } } public double getBalance() { return balance; } public int getNumber() { return number; } } |
The following BankDemo program demonstrates invoking the deposit() and withdraw() methods of CheckingAccount.
// File Name BankDemo.java public class BankDemo { public static void main(String [] args) { CheckingAccount c = new CheckingAccount(101); System.out.println("Depositing $500..."); c.deposit(500.00); try { System.out.println("\nWithdrawing $100..."); c.withdraw(100.00); System.out.println("\nWithdrawing $600..."); c.withdraw(600.00); }catch(InsufficientFundsException e) { System.out.println("Sorry, but you are short $" + e.getAmount()); e.printStackTrace(); } } } |
Compile all the above three files and run BankDemo, this would produce following result:
Depositing $500... Withdrawing $100... Withdrawing $600... Sorry, but you are short $200.0 InsufficientFundsException at CheckingAccount.withdraw(CheckingAccount.java:25) at BankDemo.main(BankDemo.java:13) |
