Checked and Unchecked Exceptions

The Java runtime system will catch the exception, just as your code can do with a catch{} block, and then prints out the message and the stack trace of the exception.

Here is a list of some exception types, with the checked exceptions indicated. Only RunTimeException and its subclasses are not checked. The parent class, Exception is checked.
