Does Java support resuming program execution after an exception?

i would like to know how an error can be caught in java but allow the program to continue to run.

here is my example:

public class test1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = new String("abcdefghij");
        try {
            System.out.println(str.charAt(0));
            System.out.println(str.charAt(9));
            System.out.println(str.charAt(10));
            System.out.println("is it still running");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("the index is out of bounds");
        }
    }
}

the following is printed:

a
j
the index is ou开发者_开发知识库t of bounds

but after the error is thrown i would like the code to continue to run so that this is printed:

a
j
the index is out of bounds
is it still running

thanks in advance

Java does not support 'resuming' or 'restarting' after an exception.

You can wrap the specific line "to skip" in a try/catch (would be 3 total in the above example, one for each access) or, perhaps better, write code that will not throw an exception -- exceptions really ought to be "exceptional" IMOHO. You could also move the try/catch code into a method to "wrap" the access (e.g. call the method 3x), but the actions are the same.

for(int i =0; i < Short.MAX_VALUE; i++){
 try{
    System.out.println(str.charAt(i));
 }catch(Exception ex){}
}

Also you can use finally bolck if you wish to execute always.
