Example of a Custom Exception Class
In Chapter 21, Custom Generic Data Structures, we provide an example of a custom exception class. We declare a reusable class called List
that’s capable of storing a list of references to objects. Some operations typically performed on a List
are not allowed if the List
is empty, such as removing an item from the front or back of the list. For this reason, some List
methods throw exceptions of exception class EmptyListException
.
