In try~catch, can I use multiple catch like JAVA?

try ... catch ... catch ...

This form is impossible.

Now, I used java and matlab mix, so need the try~catch like that. Could I use that form??

Thanks

No, you can't do this in Matlab. Matlab's try, catch works exactly as explained in the documentation: doc try

[Steven Lord]

One way to approximate Java's approach is to include a SWITCH/CASE in your CATCH block.

 x = magic(2);
 try
   a = x+magic(3);
 catch ME
   switch ME.identifier
     case 'MATLAB:dimagree'
       % handle the 'Matrix dimensions must agree.' error
     case 'MATLAB:mixedClasses'
       % handle the error that occurs when you try to combine
       % unlike integer types
     otherwise
       rethrow(ME) % I don't know what error occurred, so just rethrow it
  end
 end

Hi Kim,

You can make nested try catch

x = magic(2);
 try
   a = x+magic(3);
 catch ME
   try
   switch ME.identifi

    if true
      % code
    ender
       case 'MATLAB:dimagree'
         % handle the 'Matrix dimensions must agree.' error
       case 'MATLAB:mixedClasses'
         % handle the error that occurs when you try to combine
         % unlike integer types
       otherwise
         rethrow(ME) % I don't know what error occurred, so just rethrow it
      end
     catch 
        ...
     end
   end
