Throw must be followed by an expression on the same source line

  • Article

You used the throw keyword, but did not follow it with an expression on the same source line. A throw statement consists of two parts: the throw keyword, followed by the expression to be thrown. For example:

if (denominator == 0) {  
 throw new DivideByZeroException();  
}

You cannot split these two components up.

To correct this error

  • Make sure that the throw keyword and the expression to be thrown appears on the same line.
