Can Throwable be considered a controllable exception type in Java?

In Java, the class Throwable is the base for all errors and exceptions, but it is not considered a checked exception itself.

Checked exceptions are subclasses of Exception, except for RuntimeException and its subclasses. They require mandatory handling (try-catch) or declaration in the method signature (throws).

The Throwable class includes:

• Error — errors that are usually not handled by the application (e.g., OutOfMemoryError).
• Exception — exceptions that can be handled.

Thus, Throwable is a general type for all exceptions and errors, but only certain subclasses of Exception are considered checked exceptions, not Throwable itself.
