Java is a versatile, object-oriented programming language that is designed to run on a wide variety of platforms. Any machine that has a Java Virtual Machine, or JVM, can run Java apps. For that reason, Java is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including web, mobile, and desktop. In this course, instructor Todd Perkins, who has developed more than a dozen popular apps and games, uses a series of practical challenges to test your understanding of Java exception handling, so you can improve your programming problem-solving skills. Challenges include catching the exception, as well as handling an unsupported operation, a hidden exception, multiple threads, and nested exceptions.
