Answer / poonam

Error are those that do not allow are program to run. Some
errors cannot be fixed at compilation time they are runtime
errors. But exeptions are those that occur because of the
user during runtime which we are unable to avoid.For that we
use exeption handling to handle such kind of errors. These
allow the programs to execute and exit gracefully...

our own path i.e code to handle it. it is an error like
situation but not actually an error.
