AdventureCatch

Instructions

Now, we will throw and catch some exceptions.

For the methods attack, takeDamage and heal, if the character is already dead, you must throw a DeadCharacterException. Do this for all the Character subclasses.

The fight method should not throw an exception, so you will need to catch the exception in this method.

Usage

Here is a possible ExerciseRunner.java to test your function :

public class ExerciseRunner {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Weapon excalibur = new Weapon("Excalibur", 7);
        Weapon baton = new Weapon("Baton", 3);
        Templar arthur = new Templar("Arthur", 30, 5, 3, excalibur);
        Sorcerer merlin = new Sorcerer("Merlin", 28, 2, baton);

        try {
            arthur.takeDamage(50);
        } catch (DeadCharacterException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }

        try {
            arthur.takeDamage(2);
        } catch (DeadCharacterException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
        try {
            arthur.attack(merlin);
        } catch (DeadCharacterException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

and its output :

$ javac *.java -d build
$ java -cp build ExerciseRunner 
The templar Arthur is dead.
The templar Arthur is dead.
$
