ParseException Java -

i writing appointment program allows user input appointment dates, description, , type of appointment. works correctly until make selection "print range" prints range of dates, when choose tells them enter start date , end date, program pulls of appointments between dates , displays them output box.

here errors getting print range :

appointmentnew.java:68: unreported exception java.text.parseexception; must caught or declared thrown         date lowdate = sdf.parse(stdin.nextline());                                 ^ appointmentnew.java:70: unreported exception java.text.parseexception; must caught or declared thrown         date highdate = sdf.parse(stdin.nextline());                                    ^ appointmentnew.java:77: unreported exception java.text.parseexception; must caught or declared thrown            date newcurrentdate = sdf.parse(currentdate);  

i think should try/catch block not real sure of how that, , wondering if provide me answer or example fix these errors.

here of code believe parse error taking place :

import java.util.*; import java.text.simpledateformat; import java.util.date;  public class appointmentnew  { public static void main (string[] args) throws exception {  if (choicenum == 2)      {         system.out.print("\n\n\tenter start date in mm/dd/yyyy format: ");         simpledateformat sdf = new simpledateformat("mm/dd/yyyy");         date lowdate = sdf.parse(stdin.nextline());         system.out.print("\n\n\tenter end date in mm/dd/yyyy format: ");        date highdate = sdf.parse(stdin.nextline());            for(int = 0; < list.size(); i++)         {            int datespot = list.get(i).indexof(" ");            string currentdate = list.get(i);            currentdate.substring(0, datespot);            date newcurrentdate = sdf.parse(currentdate);              if (newcurrentdate.compareto(lowdate) >= 0 && newcurrentdate.compareto(highdate) <= 0)            {               system.out.println("\n\t" + list.get(i));             }         }      } 

parse exception checked exception must have handle it. either throws or try catch block.

public static void main (string[] args) 

should

public static void main (string[] args) throws parseexception 

or in try catch block

try {     //all parse operations } catch (parseexception e) {    //handle exception here, of time log it.    e.printstacktrace();   }
