Types of Exceptions in Java

In Java, exceptions are classified into three main categories:

1. Checked Exceptions:
• Also known as compile-time exceptions.
• These exceptions are checked at compile time, meaning the compiler ensures that these
exceptions are either handled using a try-catch block or declared using the throws
keyword.
• Examples: IOException, SQLException, ClassNotFoundException.

2. Unchecked Exceptions:
• Also known as runtime exceptions.
• These exceptions are not checked at compile time but occur during the execution of the
program.
• These usually result from programming errors such as logical mistakes.
• Examples: NullPointerException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
ArithmeticException.

3. Error:
• Represents serious problems that applications should not try to catch.
• Errors usually indicate issues with the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or hardware problems.
• Examples: StackOverflowError, OutOfMemoryError.
