Java: Checked vs Unchecked Exceptions
Answer
Validation errors often indicate a programming mistake.
Unchecked exceptions are suitable for validation errors because these errors usually suggest a mistake in the code logic rather than an external condition that the program can recover from. For example, passing an invalid order ID to a method could throw an `IllegalArgumentException`, highlighting a fault in how the method is used.
