Will this be considered as an example for custom Exception?

Question

Can the following code be considered as an example for custom exception? If not, can you please explain why from your point of view?

public class UseJDBC
{ 
    public useJDBC() throws Exception
    {
        throw new Exception("ABC");
    }

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        try 
        {
            useJDBC a = new useJDBC();
        }
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

because i'm creating a child class of exception without naming it! — siddharth bhatt, Dec 14 '15 at 15:14
There's no child class defined anywhere in that piece of code. To define a child class you should use the `extends` keyword. — Luiggi Mendoza, Dec 14 '15 at 15:17

No it is not. If you want to create a custom exception you have to extend java.lang.Exception or one of its subclasses. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/creating.html
