Throw:
throw new Exception("You have some exception")
throw new IOException("Connection failed!!")
Throws:
throws IOException, ArithmeticException, NullPointerException ....... usw.
explicitly und declaration:
public int findMax(int[] array) throws Exception{
if(array==null)
throw new NullPointerException(...);
...}
