[sforsree]

Hi kuklkarni,

Throws :- it is used to specify method level excetpion,to specify some statements in side a method level, when we are calling this type of methods we must handle the exceptions thrown by statements in the method.
eg :- public class ThrowEeg{
void m1() throws Exception
{
sop("");
a= a/0;
sop(a);//this line throws Exception.

sop(""); //this line dose n't excute
}
public static void main(String arg[])
{
ThrowEeg thre = new ThrowEeg();

try{ //here we call the try statement.

thre.m1();//method calling here.

}
catch(Exception e){
sop(e);
}
}

Throw :- it is generally use with user defined exceptions.to manually throw an exception use this key word.
