Exception Handling in Java
Exception Handling in Java
Java
Exception handling is a critical aspect of Java programming,
ensuring the robustness and reliability of applications. When
unexpected events occur during program execution,
exceptions are thrown to signal errors or unexpected
situations. By implementing appropriate exception handling
mechanisms, developers can gracefully manage these events,
prevent program crashes, and maintain application stability.
