Java Exceptions

What is an exception?

An exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program, that disrupts the normal flow of the program’s instructions.

Explain the significance of try-catch blocks?

Whenever the exception occurs in Java, we need a way to tell the JVM what code to execute. To do this, we use the try and catch keywords. The try is used to define a block of code in which exceptions may occur. One or more catch clauses match a specific exception to a block of code that handles it.
