Algorithm

  1. Capture Stack Trace:

    • Use Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace() to obtain the current stack trace.

  2. Create StringBuilder:

    • Initialize a StringBuilder to build the final string representation of the stack trace.

  3. Iterate through Stack Trace Elements:

    • Iterate through each StackTraceElement in the array obtained from getStackTrace().

  4. Append Stack Trace Elements to StringBuilder:

    • For each StackTraceElement, append its components (class name, method name, file name, and line number) to the StringBuilder.

  5. Handle Cause Exception (Optional):

    • If there's a cause exception, recursively repeat steps 3-4 for the cause exception stack trace.

  6. Convert StringBuilder to String:

    • Convert the StringBuilder to a String using the toString() method.

  7. Return Result:

    • Return the final string representation of the stack trace.

Code - Java Programming

import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.StringWriter;

public class PrintStackTrace {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            int division = 0 / 0;
        } catch (ArithmeticException e) {
            StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
            e.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(sw));
            String exceptionAsString = sw.toString();
            System.out.println(exceptionAsString);
        }
    }
