hello

why is this instance initializer correct ?? and compile fine??

    {
        try {
            throw new Exception();
        } catch (RuntimeException e){

        }
    }

because if i put this code inside main then compiler will complain and its logic because subtype cannot catch superclass!!

also why is this giving error

    {
        throw new Exception();
    }

    constructor() throws Exception{
    }

but this compiles fine???

    {
       if(true) throw new Exception();
    }

    constructor() throws Exception{
    }

This is explained in the chapter 1. section 1.2.1
