JAVA QUESTION

A checked exception extends class Exception. What class do unchecked exceptions extend?

IgnorableException

Exception (same as for a checked exception)

RuntimeException

UncheckedException

Answer 1

Unchecked Exceptions extends Runtime exceptions

Explanation:

In Java there are two types of exceptions. They are:

1. Checked Exceptions: Exceptions checked at the compile time. If a method throws a checked exception, the method then must either handle the exception or must specify the exception using throw keyword.

2. Unchecked Exception: Exceptions that are not checked at the compile time. In Java exceptions under error and runtime exceptions are Unchecked exceptions. Eveything under throwable are Checked exceptions

In brief, if a client can reasonably recover from the exception then mark it as Checked. If a client cannot do anything to recover from the exception mark it as unchecked.
