You are to modify the Pez class so that all errors are handled by exceptions. The constructor must be able to handle invalid parameters. The user should not be able to get a piece of candy when the Pez is empty. The user should not be able to put in more candy than the Pez can hold. I would like you to do 3 types of exceptions. One handled within the class itself, one handled by the calling method and one custom made exception. Be sure to comment in the program identifying each type of exception. You have the freedom of choosing which exception style you use where. You will need to submit 3 files, the Pez class, the custom exception class, and a tester program demonstrating that all of your exceptions work properly.
public class Pez
{
private int candy;
private final int MAX_PIECES = 12;
public Pez()
{
candy = 0;
}
public Pez(int pieces) //this will need to be error-proofed
{
candy = pieces;
}
public int getCandy()
{
return candy;
}
public void setCandy(int pieces) //this will need to be error-proofed
{
candy = pieces;
}
public void getAPieceOfCandy() //this will need to be error-proofed
{
candy = candy - 1;
}
public int fillPez()
{
int piecesNeeded = MAX_PIECES - candy;
candy = MAX_PIECES;
return piecesNeeded;
}
public int emptyPez()
{
int currentPieces = candy;
candy = 0;
return currentPieces;
}
public void addPieces(int pieces) //this will need to be error-proofed
{
candy = candy + pieces;
}
public String toString()
{
String thisPez = "This Pez has " + candy + " pieces of candy";
return thisPez;
}
public boolean equals(Pez pez2)
{
if(this.candy == pez2.candy)
return true;
return false;

Note: Details about the three kinds of exception are mentioned in comments.
