public class IllegalArgumentException

extends java.lang.RuntimeException

Students should understand this error/exception when it occurs in a program.

According to the Java API, an object if this class is thrown when a Java method receives an argument that is "illegal or inappropriate".

For example, in the AP subset, an IllegalArgumentException might be thrown if a negative argument is passed to a square-root function.

AB students are expected to be able to throw this exception in code they write.
