8.1 Exception Hierarchy, try-catch-finally & Catch Order Rules | Java OCA 1Z0-808

Java OCA 1Z0-808 8.1 — Exception Hierarchy, try-catch-finally & Catch Order Rules

Master Exception Handling Fundamentals for the Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 (1Z0-808) exam.

In this video, we cover:
✅ The full exception hierarchy — Throwable, Error, Exception, RuntimeException
✅ Checked exceptions — must be caught or declared, compiler enforces this
✅ Unchecked exceptions — RuntimeException subclasses, compiler does not force handling
✅ Errors — OutOfMemoryError, StackOverflowError — generally not caught
✅ try-catch-finally — full structure and all valid combinations
✅ try with only finally — valid, no catch needed
✅ try with only catch — valid, finally is optional
✅ try alone — compile error, must have catch or finally
✅ Catch order rules — most specific to least specific, child before parent
✅ Parent catch before child catch — unreachable code compile error
✅ Multi-catch syntax — catch IOException or SQLException in one block
✅ finally ALWAYS runs — after try, after catch, even after return
✅ System.exit() — the only thing that prevents finally from running
✅ Practice question with step-by-step trace at the end

This is Objective 8 of the OCA exam: "Handling Exceptions — Create a try-catch block and determine how exceptions alter normal program flow."
