Scala | Try-Catch Exceptions

The Try-Catch construct is different in Scala than in Java, Try-Catch in Scala is an expression. the Scala make use of pattern matching in the catch clause. Suppose, we have to implement a series of code which can throw an exception and if we want to control that exception then we should utilize the Try-Catch segment as it permits us to try-catch each and every type of exception in only one block, we need to write a series of case statements in catch as Scala uses matching in order to analyze and handle the exceptions.

• Example :

  // Scala program of try-catch
  // exception
  
  // Creating object
  object Arithmetic
  {
  
  // Main method
  def main(args: Array[String])
  {
  
      // Try clause
      try
      {
          // Dividing a number
          val result = 11/0
      }
  
      // Catch clause
      catch
      {
              // Case statement
              case x: ArithmeticException =>
              {
  
              // Display this if exception is found
              println("Exception: A number is not divisible by zero.")
          }
      }
  }
  }
  Output:

  Exception: A number is not divisible by zero.
  

  Here, an exception is thrown as a number is not divisible by zero.

• Example :

  // Scala program of Try-Catch
  // Exception
  import java.io.FileReader
  import java.io.FileNotFoundException
  import java.io.IOException
  
  // Creating object
  object GfG
  {
  
  // Main method
  def main(args: Array[String])
  {
  
      // Try clause
      try
      {
          // Creating object for FileReader
          val t = new FileReader("input.txt")
      }
  
      // Catch clause
      catch
      {
  
          // Case statement-1
          case x: FileNotFoundException =>
          {
              // Displays this if the file is
              // missing
              println("Exception: File missing")
  
          }
  
          // Case statement-2
          case x: IOException   =>
          {
  
              // Displays this if input/output
              // exception is found
              println("Input/output Exception")
  
          }
      }
  }
  }
  Output:

  Exception: File missing
  

  Here, the try block is executed first and if any exception is thrown then each of the cases of the catch clause is checked and the one which matches the exception thrown is returned as output.
