Explanation:
Throwable is the base class for both exceptions and errors.

Exception includes both checked and unchecked exceptions.

RuntimeException is a subclass of Exception and includes unchecked exceptions.

Error represents serious issues that are usually not recoverable.

checked Exceptions :-
Definition: These are exceptions that are checked at compile-time. The compiler
forces the programmer to handle them using try-catch or declare them using throws.

Unchecked Exceptions :-
Definition: These are exceptions that are not checked at compile-time. They occur
at runtime due to programming logic errors.
