program can be made to run without halt inspite of the
exception
▶ common exceptions are
* Performing illegal arithmetic => int a= 4/0;
//java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
* Accessing out-of-bound elements =>int b[]= {1,2};
b[2];//java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2
* illegal arguments to methods => fun(1) for function
public void fun(String a)
* Hardware failures
* writing to a read-only file
