This is a RuntimeException A method is not required to declare in its throws
clause any subclasses of RuntimeException that might be thrown during the
execution of the method but not caught.

Hello,

The class Double constructor is (public Double(String s) throws
NumberFormatException) declared with NumberFormatException (API docs).  Why
do this particular constructor not required to be enclosed in a try/catch
block?

I was under the impression that if a method is declared to throw an
exception the calling method should provide a try/catch or declare itself to
throw the exception.

Thanks in advance,
D. Michael Nelson.
