Is Throwable class the base for exception handling in programming language?

Yes, in Java, the Throwable class is the base class for all objects that can be thrown and caught as exceptions or errors.

Two main subclasses inherit from Throwable:

• Exception — for exceptions that can be handled (e.g., input/output errors).
• Error — for serious errors that are usually not handled (e.g., virtual machine errors).

Thus, all exceptions and errors in Java are instances of classes that inherit from Throwable.

Example:

try {
    // code that may throw an exception
} catch (Throwable t) {
    // handle any exception or error
}
