Hello there, my friends. In this video, we'll talk about Java Exceptions. So, what exactly is an exception? An exception is a special type of error. It occurs during the execution of a program, i.e., at runtime that disrupts the normal flow of the program's instructions. Abnormal conditions that occur while executing the program cause exceptions. While writing the program, these conditions are not known. If you don't consider these conditions, the execution can be terminated abruptly. For example, division by zero will cause an error in a program. The Java language provides excellent exception-handling mechanisms. These mechanisms minimize the chances of a system crash or abrupt program termination. For this reason, Java is known as a robust language. Okay, I think it's clear what an exception is, but I just want you to know error and exception are often confused with each other, but in Java, they are different things. So, let's take a short break here. In our next lesson, we will talk about the difference between an error and an exception. See you in the next lesson.
