Answer
Custom exceptions should be meaningful, specific, and extend an appropriate superclass.
When designing custom exceptions, ensure they convey specific error conditions and extend a logical superclass like Exception for checked exceptions or RuntimeException for unchecked ones. For example, OrderProcessingException might extend Exception and be used to signal specific issues in order handling.
