Question

Consider the following diagram:

1. If the batchUpdate() method throws a BatchUpdateException, what is printed to the console after the following code is executed?

public static void readDatabase() {
    try {
        DBClass.batchUpdate(); //throws BatchUpdateException

    } catch(SQLException) {
        System.out.println("SQLException");
    }
    System.out.println("Continue");
}

a.	“SQLException”	c.	“Continue”
b.	“BatchUpdateException”	d.	“SQLException” and “Continue”

Answer 1

d)  “SQLException” and “Continue”

Explanation:
-------------
DBClass.batchUpdate(); //throws BatchUpdateException
BatchUpdateException is a subclass of SQLException
so, catch(SQLException) block will catch this exception and it's body is executed, which prints SQLException
and the code after this try-catch block will continue executing as normal, which prints Continue
hence the output to this code is 
SQLException
Continue
