What is the difference between checked and unchecked exceptions in Java?
A checked exception is an exception that occurs at the compile time, these are also called as compile time exceptions. These exceptions cannot simply be ignored at the time of compilation; the programmer should take care of (handle) these exceptions.
Example
If you use FileReader class in your program to read data from a file, if the file specified in its constructor doesn't exist, then a FileNotFoundException occurs, and the compiler prompts the programmer to handle the exception.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
public class FilenotFound_Demo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
File file = new File("E://file.txt");
FileReader fr = new FileReader(file);
}
}Output
C:\>javac FilenotFound_Demo.java
FilenotFound_Demo.java:8: error: unreported exception
FileNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
FileReader fr = new FileReader(file);
