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.
Types of Java Built-in ExceptionsBuilt-in Exceptions in Java are categorized into two categories Checked Exceptions and Unchecked Exceptions.
Java defines several other types of exceptions that relate to its various class libraries. Following is the list of Java Unchecked and Checked RuntimeException.
Sr.No. Exception & Description 1ArithmeticException
Arithmetic error, such as divide-by-zero.
2ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
Array index is out-of-bounds.
3ArrayStoreException
Assignment to an array element of an incompatible type.
4ClassCastException
Invalid cast.
5IllegalArgumentException
Illegal argument used to invoke a method.
6IllegalMonitorStateException
Illegal monitor operation, such as waiting on an unlocked thread.
7IllegalStateException
Environment or application is in incorrect state.
8IllegalThreadStateException
Requested operation not compatible with the current thread state.
9IndexOutOfBoundsException
Some type of index is out-of-bounds.
10NegativeArraySizeException
Array created with a negative size.
11NullPointerException
Invalid use of a null reference.
12NumberFormatException
Invalid conversion of a string to a numeric format.
13SecurityException
Attempt to violate security.
14StringIndexOutOfBounds
Attempt to index outside the bounds of a string.
15UnsupportedOperationException
An unsupported operation was encountered.
16ClassNotFoundException
Class not found.
17CloneNotSupportedException
Attempt to clone an object that does not implement the Cloneable interface.
18IllegalAccessException
Access to a class is denied.
19InstantiationException
Attempt to create an object of an abstract class or interface.
20InterruptedException
One thread has been interrupted by another thread.
21NoSuchFieldException
A requested field does not exist.
22NoSuchMethodException
A requested method does not exist.
Examples of Java Built-in Exception Example 1: Demonstrating Arithmetic Exception Without try-catchIn this example, we're creating an error by dividing a value by 0. In this case, an unchecked exception will be raised. Being unchecked, compiler won't complain and program will compile successfully. Once program runs, the exception will be thrown and JVM will intercepts the same and terminate the program before printing the last statement.
package com.tutorialspoint; public class ExcepTest { public static void main(String args[]) { int b = 0; int c = 1/b; System.out.println("c :" + c); } }Output
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero at com.tutorialspoint.ExcepTest.main(ExcepTest.java:8)Example 2: Demonstrating Arithmetic Exception With try-catch
In this example, we're handling unchecked exception. As first step, we're generating an error by dividing a value by 0. In this case, an unchecked exception will be raised. We're handling via ArithmeticException. Once program runs, the exception will be thrown and catch block will intercepts the same and print the last statement.
package com.tutorialspoint; public class ExcepTest { public static void main(String args[]) { try { int b = 0; int c = 1/b; System.out.println("c :" + c); } catch (ArithmeticException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown :" + e); } System.out.println("Out of the block"); } }Output
Exception thrown :java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero Out of the blockExample 3: Demonstrating No Such Method Exception
In this example, we're showcasing that a checked exception is to be handled by code otherwise compiler will complain. Whenever a method throws a checked exception, it has to either handle the exception or declare throws exception statement as we're doing for getName() method. When we try to run the method, JVM complains the compilation problem as shown in output listed below:
package com.tutorialspoint; public class ExcepTest { public static void main(String args[]) { ExcepTest excepTest = new ExcepTest(); excepTest.getName(); } private String getName() throws NoSuchMethodException { throw new NoSuchMethodException(); } }Output
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: Unhandled exception type NoSuchMethodException at com.tutorialspoint.ExcepTest.main(ExcepTest.java:7)
