If you do still need help on this just ask, but as a clue what exception are you trying to catch? and what throws it?

I never got to see the error because I figured out rather quickly with you clue.
Thanks, I wasn't throwing an exception, I never had the statement. I put it in their and now I am receiving the illegal input error correctly. Now I just have to modify my questions and call the exception for every question. Thanks again. This was the code after I modified it with your help.
import java.io.*;
class ModifiedTest_Tester
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
{
BufferedReader dataIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String strInput;
System.out.println("Do you like Rock Music?:");
strInput = dataIn.readLine(); //reads data from console
try
{
if ("y".equals(strInput))
{
System.out.println("Do you like Marilyn Manson?:");
strInput = dataIn.readLine(); //reads data from console
if ("y".equals(strInput))
{
System.out.println("You are a hardcore Rocker");
}
else if ("n".equals(strInput))
{
System.out.println("How could you not like Marilyn Manson?");
}
else
{
throw new TheException(); //calls
}
}
else if ("n".equals(strInput))
{
System.out.println("Ok, bye rock hater!");
}
}
catch (TheException e)
{
System.out.println("Illegal input caught");
}
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Program Ending!");
}
}
