How would you code the following in Java when given the coding below?

-Organize the code capable of throwing an exception of type ParseException as a try block.

-Include a catch block to handle a ParseException error thown by the try block.

-Include a hard-coded error that results in a ParseException to prove that the code can catch and handle this type of exception.

public static void main(String[] args){

   // The getInstance() method returns a Calendar object whose calendar fields have been initialized with the current date and time.

   Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); {

   //LINE 1. BEGIN THE TRY BLOCK.

               String str_date="01-Nov-17"; // Declare a string that we will use later to format a date like this: ##-XXX-##

               DateFormat formatter; // Declare an object of type DateFormat so that we can call its parse() method later

               Date myFormattedDate; // Declare a variable of type Date to hold the formatted date

               formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");   // Assign a specific date format to the formatter variable

               // The given date is taken as a string that is converted into a date type by using

               // the parse() method

                myFormattedDate = (Date)formatter.parse(str_date);      // setting up the format

               System.out.println("The formatted date is " + myFormattedDate);

               System.out.println("Today is " +calendar.getTime() );

   }        

       //LINE 2. DD THE CATCH BLOCK TO CATCH EXCEPTIONS OF TYPE ParseException (TO HANDLE EXCEPTION, SIMPLY PRINT THE EXCEPTION)
