Create a Custom Exception Type

Here is a Java Program to creates a custom exception type.

class MyException extends Exception {
  private int detail;

  MyException(int a) {
    detail = a;
  }

  public String toString() {
    return "MyException[" + detail + "]";
  }
}

class ExceptionDemo {
  static void compute(int a) throws MyException {
    System.out.println("Called compute(" + a + ")");
    if(a > 10)
      throw new MyException(a);
    System.out.println("Normal exit");
  }

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
      compute(1);
      compute(20);
    } catch (MyException e) {
      System.out.println("Caught " + e);
    }
  }
}

Output of Above Java Program
Called compute(1)
Normal exit
Called compute(20)
Caught MyException[20]
