Exception Handling in Java Tutorial

Everything you need to know about how to handle Exceptions in Java with try / catch / finally code!
Handling Exceptions gracefully doesn't have to be complicated, and by the end of this video you'll know all about how to handle them so your program can continue if it runs into any problems.

Just to say, i'm an IT student and whenever i see something new about Java in my college i go here to yt and look up on your account since i found out that you're much eaiser to understand than my professors, asistants and mentors are. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME PASS MY EXAMS!!! xD

3:57 - It's exceptional how you tackle the topics of your videos so comprehensively in such a limited timeframe. I wondered why a colleague of mine could not explain to his students the hierarchy of exceptions, while you cover it in the basics of your tutorial here.
Your videos are so good that I'm constantly thinking of designing a worksheet where one of your videos is the topic and my students have to prepare the topic of the lessons with the help of both - a flipped classroom principle.
And before I had actually finished your video, I was thinking about whether you would cover the execution of code after an exception is thrown, and voilà, you also covered that at 9:44.
Please continue making videos about Java related stuff.

Thank you for imparting your knowledge to all of us on YouTube! I pay attention to the Java lectures at my University, but you have a way of explaining it better than my professors.

[laharibasu]

The best Java instructor out there. Your videos are a binge watch thing. Thanks for making them simple and interesting. ❤️

Thanks for helping us all through Dev School John, you're very articulate and entertaining to boot! I'm sure i speak for us all when i say "We appreciate you".

[vannimehta]

I am a non IT background person and doing a course in IT currently and your videos are super simple to understand. Thank you!

[binary-starof]

Thank you John. You always make it easy to understand. You've really helped me, you have no idea.

Good advice to use Finally{} to close connections, etc. Then no matter what might explode in the try { } it won't abandon the connections or leave files open.

I am student in computer science in my last year and you thought me some stuff I didn't know. Good Stuff!

Cant believe this dude doesn't have million of subs. Many time I just watch those videos recreationally haha

[GratefulCoder]

You are nothing less than blessing to us Java programmers, Thank You John.

[hovonbonioaleqsanyan]

Best Java teacher I have ever had. John explains almost any topic in a very understandable way. Thank you very much for your work.

How does it become so SIMPLE when it is YOU who explain it 😃 Another great video, thanks !

Also you can use try with resources block, to close all connections, without needing to use finally block.

[MdRahman-jwvg]

The way he describes Java.. I am encouraged to become a developer now😊

[alexarditti]

John I just want to say thank you. Your videos and explanations are so helpful.

[ovey]

Thank you for giving a real world example of when a "finally" block makes sense to use! Knowing real world examples of why/ when a particular thing would actually be used is a huge step for me in understanding a concept. A lot of times things are explained without showing a real world example of when it's needed and I get hung up on the thought of "why not just do this other much more simple thing that seems to do the exact same thing?"

[skfotografie]

This video was really helpful to get into the exception topic. Thanks!

[aquilhall]

It's great to have someone explain clearly these very important keystone concepts in Java! Thank you!

[computer.tutorials]

Legendary explanation! Thank you so much, John😄
