Java - Built-in Exceptions

Java defines several exception classes inside the standard package java.lang.

The most general of these exceptions are subclasses of the standard type RuntimeException. Since java.lang is implicitly imported into all Java programs, most exceptions derived from RuntimeException are automatically available.

Java defines several other types of exceptions that relate to its various class libraries. Following is the list of Java Unchecked RuntimeException.

Sr.No.	Exception & Description
1	ArithmeticException Arithmetic error, such as divide-by-zero.
