What is the difference between Checked and Unchecked exception? Give some examples..

Answer / narendra

checked Exceptions must be dealt with in either a try/catch
block or by
declaring a "throws" in a method. Unchecked exceptions
normally are
Runtime exceptions like NullPointerException or
ClassCastException.

A simple rule of thumb: If it's an exception you can
possibly deal with
(continue to run the program using some alternative code),
use checked
exceptions. For exceptions that should never happen (if they
do, it's a
bug), use unchecked (Runtime) exceptions which will come up
to the
surface and displayed to the user. Like this you assure that
if there's
a bug, it will show up eventually and can be fixed, and you
don't run
the risk of catching an exception and forgetting to deal
with it (f.i.
empty catch block).

2. Unchecked exceptions are exceptions that do not
need to be declared in a throws clause. An unchecked
exception indicates an unexpected problem that is probably

declared thrown.

java.lang.Exception class. Unchecked exceptions extend the
