Java: Checked vs Unchecked Exceptions
Answer
To ensure critical file handling errors are managed explicitly.
File operations, such as reading or writing files, can fail for many reasons—missing files, permission issues, etc. Using checked exceptions like IOException forces developers to address these potential failures, ensuring the application can respond appropriately, such as by alerting the user or attempting a fallback.
