Try-Catch with Semantic Errors
Oct 29^th, 2007, 1:20am

I can't get a try/catch to work with a statement that gives me a semantic error. Below is a simplified bit of code that exemplifies my issue.

int[] array;
try {
array = append(array, 2);
}
catch (Throwable t) {
println("If you read this, the try-catch works");
}

I know there are better ways to accomplish the task of this example, but I'd like to use this form for a more complicated task. Any help in getting it to work would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,
you need to initialize your array before appending something to it.

try this
--------------------------------------------------------
int[] array = new int[0]; //initialize

try {
array = append(array, 2);
}
catch (Throwable t) {
println("If you read this, the try-catch works");
}
println(array);
-------------------------------------------------------
Cheers!
