1) What is the difference between ‘throw’ and ‘throws’ ?And it’s application?

Ans : Exceptions that are thrown by java runtime systems can be handled by Try and catch blocks. With throw exception we can handle the exceptions thrown by the program itself. If a method is capable of causing an exception that it does not

handle, it must specify this behavior so the callers of the method can guard

against that exception.

Any time a method is about to return to the caller from inside try/catch block, via an uncaught exception or an explicit return statement, the finally clause is also execute.
