Painful menstrual periods are periods in which a woman has crampy lower abdominal pain, sharp or aching pain that comes and goes, or possibly back pain. Some pain during your period is normal, but a large amount of pain is not. The medical term for painful menstrual periods is dysmenorrhea.
When an exception occurs, we say that the exception is thrown. For example, we say that Integer.parseInt(str) throws an exception of type NumberFormatException when the value of str is illegal. When an exception is thrown, it is possible to catch the exception and prevent it from crashing the program. This is done with a try..catch statement.
For example, if the try block in the above example throws an exception, the catch clause for TooColdException will be examined first, then the catch clause for TooHotException. During this examination process, the first catch clause encountered that handles the thrown object's class gets to catch the exception.
