Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

“throw” an exception:

  • To “throw” an exception means to generate an exception object.
  • When an exception occurs in the method, an object is created by the method which in turn send to the runtime system.
  • This created object is called exception object which holds the information about the error.
  • The information includes its type and the state of the program when the error occurred.
  • Thus, creating an exception object and giving it to the runtime system is called throwing an exception.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Built:

The term “built” does not comes under the concept of exception handling.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Caught:

The term “caught” is used to represent error which is thrown.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Killed:

The term “killed” does not comes under the concept of exception handling.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

Create an Exception class named GradeException that contains a static public array of valid grade letters (A, B, C, D, F, and I) that you can use to determine whether a grade entered from the application is valid. In your application, throw a GradeException if the user does not enter a valid letter grade. Catch the GradeException, and then display the message Invalid grade. In addition, store an I (for Incomplete) for any student for whom an exception is caught. At the end of the application, display all the student IDs and grades.
