How does CompletableFuture handle a chain of future computations when an exception occurs?
Multiple choiceHardchapter-15-curatedpremiumconcurrencycompletablefuture
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
A. It passes the exception to the next.exceptionally() or.handle().
Why
In a CompletableFuture chain, exceptions are forwarded to the next.exceptionally() or.handle() method, which allows you to handle the exception and decide how to proceed, ensuring that your application behaves predictably.
