“One of the most intelligent and pragmatic engineers I've had the pleasure of working with. His understanding of the fundamentals and experiences allows for an uncanny eye on intent and forethought on all architectural fronts. He was always willing to teach less experienced engineers and was the go-to for architectural questions.”

How do you use the try-catch-finally blocks in OOP?
"Exceptions" is a reporting mechanism implemented across many programming languages many of which support OOP. "Checked exceptions" is a mistake made in the design of Java's implementation of this mechanism and not, so far as I am aware, repeated in any other language. (C++ made a related but different mistake with "exception specifications", but has since deprecated that syntax.)
