THROW:-We have to handle the exception(we in the sense user here).

Throws:We are asking the compiler to handle the exception raised.

Please correct if what I stated above is wrong . If wrong please tell me the correct statement.

Thanks in Adv!

Answer 1

I'd say that both are not exact.

throw statement causes throwing of exception. No-one has to catch it however. For example runtime exception can be thrown without any requirement to catch them in application code.

throws is a keyword that allows to declare that method may throw exception of specific type.
