597 Pointshandling exceptions
So I am trying to catch the exception, but the error that pops up does not help me at all. Here is the error: ./Main.java:8: error: 'catch' without 'try' catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) { ^ please help.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
System.out.println("The battery is empty");
}
kart.drive(2);
catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.println("stop!");
System.out.printf("The error was: %s\n", iae.getMessage());
}
}
}

Manh Do
5,138 PointsYou did the "catch" but forgot about the "try". The error tells you specifically what is needed.
It should look like this,
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
try {
if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
System.out.println("The battery is empty");
}
kart.drive(2);
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.println("stop!");
System.out.printf("The error was: %s\n", iae.getMessage());
}
}
}
