Java catch Keyword

If an error occur, use try...catch to catch the error and execute some code to handle it:

try {
  int[] myNumbers = {1, 2, 3};
  System.out.println(myNumbers[10]);
} catch (Exception e) {
  System.out.println("Something went wrong.");
}

Definition and Usage

The catch keyword catches exceptions generated by try statements.

The catch statement allows you to define a block of code to be executed, if an error occurs in the try block.
