Nested try block in java

In the previous post, we have seen try-catch block. In this post, we will discuss about the nested try block in java.

A try block placed inside another try block is known as Nested try block.

Suppose, a part of try block causes different error from the whole try block. In that case, we can use nested try block.

Syntax of Nested try block:

try  
{  
    statement 1;  
    statement 2;  
    try  
    {  
        statement 1;  
        statement 2;  
    }  
    catch(Exception e)  
    {  
    }  
}  
catch(Exception e)  
{  
}

Example of nested try :

public class TryCatchEx {
	
	static String name = null;
	public static void main(String[] args){	
		try{
	      int data=50/2;
	      System.out.println("Start a nested try");
	      try{
	    	  System.out.println(name.length());
	      }catch(NullPointerException n){
	    	  System.out.println("Error : variable is null");
	      }
	      int data1 = data/5;
	      System.out.println("data further divided after nested try block : "+data1);
		}catch(ArithmeticException e){
			System.out.println("Error : "+e.getMessage());
			System.out.println("Caught the error");
		}
	      System.out.println("Important steps to be executed");  // program will be executed
	}	
}
