We're all friends here, even the exceptions

There was a time when exceptions kept young scientists and programmers awake at night. Today they have that effect on CodeGym students. Let's try creating our own exceptions. To do this, we have the MyException, MyException2, MyException3, and MyException4 classes. Let's have the classes inherit other classes so as to produce any two checked exceptions and any two unchecked exceptions.

To give a little more hint on top of what Horst suggested, you can inherit a checked exception class such as IOException to create a class that is a checked exception, and inherit an unchecked exception class such as RuntimeException to create a class that is an unchecked exception.

In case of doubt you might want to revise the article on checked and unchecked exceptions and especially what their names are...

I'm still lost. Can you please explain to me how to throw the exception from an exteded class?

The requirements sound like we need to do something very complicated, which led me into the wrong path of thinking. Instead of writing: 3. Two of the four classes must be checked exceptions. 4. Two of the four classes must be unchecked exceptions. codegym should have written a clearer statement of requirements like: 3. Two of the four classes must inherit checked exceptions. 4. Two of the four classes must inherit unchecked exceptions. In the end it is all pretty simple. You do not need to throw exceptions. Just let the custom classes (MyException...) inherit exception classes (checked/unchecked). Do nothing more and you meet the requirements. For example:

static class MyException4 extends ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
