I have an assignment to make my own exception. The exception need to be thrown when the user enters a string longer than 31 characters. Then next, task and the one I am struggling with is to do the same, but this time correctly handle the exception gracefully.

StringTooLongException.java

Code:

public class StringTooLongException extends Exception {
	
	public StringTooLongException(String message) {
		super(message);
	}
	
}

TooLongCrashes.java

Code:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class TooLongCrashes {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws StringTooLongException, IOException {
		BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
	    String message;
		boolean c = true;
		while(c) {
			stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
			message = stdin.readLine();
			if(message.length() >= 32)
				throw (new StringTooLongException(message));
			else
				System.out.println(message);
			
		}

	}

}

TooLogHandled.java

Code:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class TooLongHandled {

	static TooLongCrashes too;
		
	public static void main(String[] args) throws StringTooLongException, IOException {
		try {
		too = new TooLongCrashes();
		} catch(Exception e) {
			System.out.println(too.toString());
		}
	}
}

In TooLongHandled.java I cannot seem to figure out how I should go about handling the exception.
