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

// 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

// 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.
