Java Method Throws: How to Declare and Handle Exceptions

Method Throws in Java is a way to indicate that a particular method might throw a specific exception during its execution. This helps developers to handle potential exceptions properly while calling the method. To use the "throws" keyword in Java, you need to add it to the method signature, followed by the exception type that the method may throw.

In the code above, the readFile method is declared with throws IOException in its signature, indicating that it might throw an IOException. The main method uses a try-catch block to handle the potential exception thrown by the readFile method.
