Exceptions

An exception in Java is an event that disrupts the normal flow of a program's execution, allowing for the separation of error handling code and enabling error propagation up the call stack. When a method encounters an error, it creates and throws an exception object, which contains details about the error. The runtime system searches the call stack for an appropriate handler to catch the exception. If no handler is found, the program terminates. This organized approach allows exceptions to be categorized and managed effectively.
