Thread: Why is this working?

Hi there.
I was trying some code on java exception handling. I expected it to throw an error, but it returned the arguement.
What is going on?

 
public class Main{
 
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 
        squarePrinter("I am square");
 
    }
 
 
public static <Square> void squarePrinter(Square squareObject){
 
        try
        {
 
            System.out.print(squareObject);
 
        }
        catch (IllegalStateException e)
        {
            System.out.println("You cannot print a Java object to the terminal: " + e);
 
        }
    }
 
}

Thank you Norm:

I executed the code from VS Code.
What you see above is the full content of the code I run.
