differnce between in erroor and exception code example
Example 1: error vs exception
Both Error and Exception are derived from Throwable in Java.
Error represents errors which are generally cannot be handled. For examples:
OutOfMemoryError, NoClassDefFoundError
Exception represents errors which can be caught and handled. For examples:
IOException, NullPointerException
Exception is divided in two categories; checked and unchecked Exception.
Checked Exception require a mandatory try-catch code block to handle it.
Unchecked Exception mostly represent programming errors (NullPointerException
or RuntimeException)
Errors are unchecked exception and the developer is not required
to do anything with these.
All the Errors are Exceptions, but the reverse is not true.
In general Errors are which nobody can control or guess when it happened,
on the other hand Exception can be guessed and can be handled.
Example 2: What is an error in Java
Error is the subclass of Throwable class in java. When errors are caused
by our program we call that as Exception, but sometimes exceptions are
caused due to some environment issues such as running out of memory.
In such cases we can’t handle the exceptions.
Exceptions which cannot be recovered are called as errors in java.
Ex : Out of memory issues
