If an exception is thrown by a method, where can the catch for the exception be?

There does not need to be a catch in this situation.

The catch must be in the method that threw the exception.
The catch can be in the method that threw the exception or in any other method that called the method that threw the
exception. (*)
The catch must be immediately after the throw.
36.

Choose the best response to this statement: An error can be handled by throwing it and catching it just like an exception.

True. Errors and exceptions are the same objects and are interchangeable.
False. An error is much more severe than an exception and cannot be dealt with adequately in a program. (*
True. Although errors may be more severe than exceptions they can still be handled in code the same way exceptions are.
False. Exceptions are caused by a mistake in the code and errors occur for no particular reason and therefore cannot be
handled or avoided.

Which of the following could be a reason to throw an exception?

To eliminate exceptions from disrupting your program. (*)

You have a fatal error in your program.

Suppose you misspell a method name when you call it in your program. Which of the following explains why this gives
you an exception?

Because the interpreter does not recognize this method since it was never initialized, the correct spelling of the method
was initialized.
Because the interpreter tries to read the method but when it finds the method you intended to use it crashes.
This will not give you an exception, it will give you an error when the program is compiled. (*)

Which of the following would be most beneficial for this scenario?

Joe is a college student who has a tendency to lose his books. Replacing them is getting costly. In an attempt to get organized, Joe
wants to create a program that will store his textbooks in one group of books, but he wants to make each book type the subject of
the book (i.e. MathBook is a book). How could he store these different subject books into a single array?
By ignoring the subject type and initializing all the book as objects of type Book.
By overriding the methods of Book.
Using polymorphism. (*)
This is not possible. Joe must find another way to collect the books.
50.

What is Polymorphism?
A way of redefining methods with the same return type and parameters.
A way to create multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.
