Java: Checked vs Unchecked Exceptions
Answer
Unchecked exceptions are suitable for errors that arise from bugs.
Unchecked exceptions, like `NullPointerException` or `IllegalArgumentException`, represent conditions that are typically caused by programming errors. These errors aren't expected to be recoverable and indicate flaws in the code logic. For instance, attempting to access a method on a null object reference should throw a `NullPointerException`.
