One is usually

more interested in

the type of the exception

than in manipulating it as an object,

so “e” is just an object often thrown away.

The general structure of Java’s exception handling:

try {

// here goes the code that attempts to perform the // intended action, but that could throw an exception

...

} // try

catch (ExceptionType1 e) {

// here goes the code to handle exception type 1

...

} // catch Type1

catch (ExceptionType2 e) {

// here goes the code to handle exception type 2

...

} // catch Type2
