I think you wanted `public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{` (Emphasis on throw*s*.) — GBlodgett, Aug 07 '18 at 14:12
I suggest you go back to your tutorial and make sure you copied the code correctly. — Some programmer dude, Aug 07 '18 at 14:12
throw is an action, you need a ; using the through, place it after IOException, you don't need the scope parentheses there. — Wookies-Will-Code, Aug 07 '18 at 14:14
On the method signature, it is "throw**s**". Within a method, you can do things like `throw new IOException("some message")`. Yes, details, such as a trailing "s" matter. — GhostCat, Aug 07 '18 at 14:16

If you dont't want to throw exception by using a try catch the second Methode is to do it like this:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
  //But your Code here where you Need to throw an Exception
}

The second Methode is to use a try/catch

Like this:

public static void main(String[] args){
  try{

    //Code which throws an exception
  }catch(IOException e){
     e.printstacktrace();
  }

}

How THIS answer differs from MINE? – Nikolas Charalambidis Aug 07 '18 at 15:23
you dont Need the `throw new IOException();` – user12346352 Aug 07 '18 at 15:24
@Nikolas and you didn't tell him that there is a second way to do it by the `try/catch` – user12346352 Aug 07 '18 at 15:25
