How nicely explained. No need to go anywhere now to know what are checked and unchecked exceptions. Thanks. Keep it up

[Aniruddhdwivedi]

Correct me if I am wrong - All exceptions occur at runtime. The only difference is Java compiler checks probable places in code for checked exceptions and forces developers to handle them.

[SaeedAhmed-glxn]

All Exceptions are handled at run time. It is not very much correct to say compile time Exceptions. Instead checked Exceptions are those which occur at run time only but compiler checks if it is handled by the developer or not. Checking is done at compile time for checked exceptions but occurring of Exceptions are always run time only.
