 Exception: An exception is an unwanted event that disrupts the normal flow of a program.
 Exception Handling: A mechanism to handle runtime errors so that normal execution of the
program can continue

Types of Exceptions

1. Checked Exceptions
o Checked at compile-time.
o Must be handled using try-catch or declared using throws.
o Example: IOException, SQLException.
2. Unchecked Exceptions
o Occur at runtime.
o Not checked by compiler.
o Example: ArithmeticException, NullPointerException,
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

Java Exception Handling Keywords

 try → block of code to test for exceptions.


 catch → block to handle exception.
 finally → block that always executes (cleanup code).
 throw → used to throw an exception object explicitly.
 throws → declares exceptions that a method can throw.
Other Concepts

 Nested try: A try block inside another try block.


 Multiple catch: Multiple catch blocks for different exception types.
 User-defined Exception: Custom exception class created by extending Exception or
RuntimeException.

Example:

Try
{
int a = 10/0;
}
catch(ArithmeticException e)
{
[Link]("Divide by zero error!");
}
finally
{
[Link]("This block always executes.");
}
