every time I throw an exception, my program terminates. Is there a way to throw an exception without terminating it? The reason why I'd want to do it is for testing purposes. In my final product, I will simply print error messages, but I have a lot of classes and exceptions help me see where "errors" are. I throw exceptions sometimes when I want to know if a condition was filled, but isn't necessarily program breaking, meaning that the program could go on after throwing the exception.

Why do you want to do this with an exception? – user2357112 Apr 20 '17 at 02:20

No, You can't throw exception and your program still running. – Fady Saad Apr 20 '17 at 02:30

I said in the program description that I like exceptions because they give the line number of the error – Meepo Apr 20 '17 at 02:44

Consider using try catch instead of throws:
try{
//statements that may cause an exception
}
//Replace exception(type) with the exception you could be throwing
catch (exception(type) e){ //Example for exception(type) is IOException
//error handling code
//e.printStackTrace();
}
