    Default Java code problems!

    There are two errors in this class, what are they? and how do I fix them?

     public class Question04c extends OtherClass{
    protected int answer(int i) throws DumbQuestionException { if(i < 0){ throw
        new DumbQuestionException(); } else return 6; } }
    class OtherClass{ public int answer(int i){ return i; } }
        class DumbQuestionException extends Exception{ }

    First, overriden answer() cannot throw exception, because it's parent didn't. Second, overriden method cannot have more narrow scope then parent.
    P.S.: your style is awful

    @angstrem Please beware of giving answers to homework questions. Especially when the question was no more effort than copy paste. But at the same time also thanks for the help answering questions on the forum.
    Please see The problem with spoonfeeding.
    @frenchsasha Someone will be getting a new assignment
