238. Nested try catch blocks

We can write try catch block inside another try block. By having nested try catch blocks, we can separately handle multiple exceptions in the code.

Syntax -

   try
    {
             try
              { 
                 //Code
               }
             catch( )
               {
                 //Code
               }

        //Code 

     }
  catch( )
   {
      //Code
   }

Lets implement this on Eclipse IDE -

1. Launch Eclipse IDE, create new Java Project 'Project 47' as shown below -

2. Create a new Java Class file 'NestedTryCatchDemo.java' with main( ) method as shown below -

3. Create a set of statements which can throw more than one exceptions as shown below -

4. Lets keep the above code in the try block and handle the exception using the catch block as shown below (i.e. Using a single try catch blocks to handle two exceptions)  -

5. Save and Run the Java Class 'NestedTryCatchDemo.java' and observe that only one exception out of two is handled and the exception details are displayed in the output as shown below -

6. Now write another try catch block inside the existing try catch block to handle the first exception separately as shown below -

7. Save and Run the Java Class 'NestedTryCatchDemo.java' and observe that two exception out of two are handled and the exception details are displayed in the output as shown below -

Hence we can use nested try catch blocks to handle the multiple exceptions separately in the program code.
