Unhandled Exception in Java

by

What do you mean “return” an exception? When an exception is thrown, it bubbles up the call stack.

You are not handling it in this case. It reaches main and thus you have an unhandled exception.

If you want to handle an exception, you’d use a try-catch block. Preferably surrounding main in this case.

try {
    // Code that might throw
    // an exception.
} catch (Exception e) {
    // Handle it.
}

Another solution would be to specify that main throws a “RandomWeirdException“, and not catch it in the first place.

public static void main(String[] args) throws RandomWeirdException { ... }

It’s preferable to just let functions throw, unless you can reasonably handle the exceptional case.
If you just catch for the sake of catching without doing anything meaningful in an exceptional case, it’s the equivalent of hiding an error sometimes.
