Exception Programs

The document presents a Java class demonstrating the difference between 'throw' and 'throws' in exception handling. It includes a method that checks age and throws an IllegalArgumentException if the age is below 18, and shows how to handle this exception in the main method using try/catch. Additionally, it notes that the caller must handle exceptions either with a try/catch block or by declaring them again with 'throws'.
