Exceptions and their interpretation

Exceptions and their interpretation
LeJOS supports most of the standard Java language exception classes, and users can
also create their own exception classes.
If a program throws an exception on the NXT, it is displayed on the LCD, since the NXT
brick does not have a console/ screen. Hereby the exceptions, depending on the program,
are assigned to specific error codes. Suppose our program ExArithmetic.java contains the
following code:
public class ExArithmetic
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int x = 1;
int y = 0;
int z = x/y;
}
}
After uploading and starting this program, the LCD shows the following:
Java Exception:
Class:
10
Methode: 0
Every time the error codes are newly generated for every transfer of the program from
your computer to the NXT. In order to display these error codes while uploading, you have
to call nxj with the option verbose. This can be done either in the command line (nxj –-verbose
ExArithmeitic) or in Eclipse. For the latter go to Window -> Preferences -> leJOS NXJ and mark the
check-box Verbose.
Then a list of different Classes and Signatures will appear in the console. Class represents the
type of the thrown exception and Signature (it is displayed Methode on the LCD which is
equal to Signature) the method in which the exception has occurred.
Note that the list of Classes and Signatures can differ from program to program (amount of
listings and assignments) and therefore must be considered for examination of the error
message.
According to our example ExArithmetic.java there was thrown an ArithmeticException in the main
method:
C:\nxj –-verbose ExArithmetic
