So if I am looking at this piece of code:

public Plugboard(String wires) throws InvalidPlugboardWiresException

What exactly does the throws InvalidPlugboardWiresException mean?

  • the method can throw a `InvalidPlugboardWiresException` or any of its subclasses (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/declaring.html) – Andrew Tobilko Aug 10 '17 at 18:19

This is information that this constructor can throw InvalidPlugboardWiresException. You should handle this exception in place where you are using it.

Remember that the most dangerous thing you can do is catch an exception and do nothing with it.
