Question

placing an exception class after its superclass in the catch block results in a compilation error (True or False)

Answer 1

False.

In Java, placing an exception class after its superclass in the catch block does not result in a compilation error. However, it results in an unreachable code error since the superclass catch block will catch all exceptions that are subclasses of it. So, placing the subclass after the superclass would never be reached.
