length and excepton

[javagwcc]

int a ;
.
.

System.out.a.length(a.length());


above code will throw compilar exception. This is what kind of exception ?

Thanks in advance.

The above code looks like randomly placed words. What are you trying to achieve? You can't make up syntax and expect it to work.

And by the way, it doesn't throw an exception but rather causes a compilation error. There's a difference that will help you to learn about.

There is nothing called compiler exceptions in general, it's compiler error or compile time error used in common. What you are trying to do?

I am very happy by looking the replyes....thanks ....

I am actually trying to understand the Exception classification along with examples.

I know that, when we compile it will not compile.

In broad level exceptions are 1. Unchecked exceptions ( run time )
2. checked exceptions ( compile time )

Under which catagory my exception(e.length()) will come, is it under checked exception ?

On what base these two are classified ???

Can I have smalll example for these both types, Plz..... ???

I referred couple of books but they are confusing me .....

2. checked exceptions ( compile time )

This is really not a good description of checked and unchecked exceptions. Exceptions are always runtime. The difference with checked exceptions is that the compiler requires you to either:
a) handle the exception, or
b) declare in your method signature that the exception may be thrown.

The exception itself is still something that would be thrown at runtime, but the compiler requires you to explicitly declare how it should be handled.

Hope that helps,
