Q1. What is the difference between following code segments

1.

try {
for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
calculate(i);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error while processing")
}

and

2.

for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
try {
calculate(i);
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error while processing")
}
}

Core Java

Ans. In first case the whole loop will terminate as soon as any exception happens in the method calculate ( assuming calculate method is not handling its exception and those are thrown back at the calling method )

In Second case exception will be caught for individual iteration and hence it wont break the loop and will continue for the next iteration.
