11. Exception Handling: Risky Behavior > Did we mention that a method can throw...
Did we mention that a method can throw more than one exception?
A method can throw multiple exceptions if it darn well needs to. But a method’s declaration must declare all the checked exceptions it can throw (although if two or more exceptions have a common superclass, the method can declare just the superclass.)
The compiler will make sure that you’ve handled all the checked exceptions thrown by the method you’re calling. Stack the catch blocks under the try, one after the other. Sometimes the order in which you stack the catch blocks matters, but we’ll get to that a little later.
