Types of Exceptions
nChecked exceptions
nExceptions that inherit from the Exception
class are checked exceptions. Client code has to handle the checked exceptions thrown by the API, either in a catch clause or by forwarding it outward with the
throws clause.
nUnchecked exceptions
nRuntimeException also extends from Exception.
However, all of the
exceptions that inherit from RuntimeException get special treatment. There is no requirement for the client code to deal with
them, and hence they
are called unchecked exceptions.
nC++ and C# do not have checked exceptions at
all; all exceptions
in these languages are unchecked.
