I'm trying to understand what it is to designate a class for this try-catch block in java?

Question

try {
rever = br.readLine();
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
System.out.println("IO error trying to read the string!");
System.exit(1);
}

Answer 1

I've no clue what rever means, but br is probably binary reader. ioe is input output exception and is probably a specific one written by the user--I don't think ioe is a standard exception.

Hope that helps some.
