I don't understand the explanation given for question ID

enthuware.ocajp.i.v7.2.1033

:

A try statement must always have a ............. associated with it.

[admin]

You cannot just have a try block. i.e.
try{

some code

}

You also need to have either a catch or a finally or both i.e.

try{
}catch(Exception e){ }

or try{
}catch(Exception e){ }
finally{ }

or
try{
}finally{ }

[sosenz]

Its a bit confusing, should be catch or final or both imo

[surabhigupta94]

A catch can catch multiple exceptions: try{ } catch(Exception1|Exception2|Exception3 e){  }

shouldn't the catch block be written as:
catch (Exception1 || Exception2 || Exception3 e) { }

[admin]

By that logic, why only 3, the catch clause can have any number of Exceptions. Also, it should be | and not ||.
But that is not the point of the question. It is getting at the requirement of having at least a catch block or a finally block.

This question is completely correct since it is possible to use try with resources.
Here is example:

Code: Select all

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try(Scanner s = new Scanner("")){
            System.out.println("Valid try declaration");
        }
    }
}

[admin]

A try statement is not same as try-with-resources statement. Both are different. The question is asking about try statement (not try with resources statement).
Problem statement has now been updated to make it clear.

thank you for your feedback!
