Java - Custom Exceptions

Identify the error in this custom exception class:

public class MyException extends Exception {
    public void MyException(String message) {
        super(message);
    }
}

Asuper(message) cannot be called in this class

BMissing import statement for Exception

CClass must implement Serializable interface

DConstructor has a void return type, so it's a method, not a constructor

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check constructor syntax
Constructors must not have a return type. Here, void makes it a method, not a constructor.
Step 2: Understand consequences
Without a proper constructor, the class uses default constructor which does not call super(message), causing errors when throwing with message.
Final Answer:
Constructor has a void return type, so it's a method, not a constructor -> Option D
Quick Check:
Constructor no return type = Constructor has a void return type, so it's a method, not a constructor [OK]

Quick Trick: Constructors never have a return type, not even void [OK]
