Exercise$14\mathrm{.}31$

Why is the following not a sensible way to use an exception handler? Will this code compile and run?

Person p $=$ null;

try $\{$

$//$ The lookup could fail.

p $=$ database.lookup$($details$)$;

$\}$

catch$($Exception e$)\{$

$\}$

System.out.println$("$The details belong to: $"+$ p$)$;
