• Unchecked Runtime Exceptions: Dive deep into unchecked exceptions and understand their impact on application logic.
  • Overview of Unchecked Exceptions: Learn what unchecked exceptions are, why they occur, and how to handle them.
• Checked Exceptions: Explore checked exceptions that Java forces you to handle.
  • Overview of Checked Exceptions: Understand the differences between checked and unchecked exceptions and why checked exceptions require explicit handling.
• Catching Exceptions: Develop your skills in catching exceptions to prevent application crashes and handle unexpected scenarios gracefully.
  • Try-catch: Learn the basics of the try-catch block for handling exceptions.
  • Example: ArithmeticException: Understand the common ArithmeticException (division by zero) and how to handle it.
  • Example: NullPointerException: Learn how to handle NullPointerException, one of the most frequent exceptions in Java.
  • Example: IndexOutOfBoundsException: Grasp how to prevent and handle IndexOutOfBoundsException when accessing arrays or lists.
