Java: Checked vs Unchecked Exceptions
Answer
They enforce handling at compile-time. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Checked exceptions force developers to handle errors that the program can potentially recover from, such as I/O failures. By requiring explicit handling, they prompt developers to think about error recovery strategies. For example, when reading from a file, an `IOException` might be thrown, prompting the developer to implement a retry mechanism.
