Answer from AI

In Kotlin, as in Java, there are several common exceptions that frequently occur:

  • NullPointerException — occurs when trying to access an object that is null. Thanks to Kotlin's null-safety type system, such exceptions are less common.
  • IndexOutOfBoundsException — occurs when attempting to access an element of a collection or array with an index outside the valid range.
  • IllegalArgumentException — thrown when a method receives an incorrect or inappropriate argument.
  • NumberFormatException — occurs when trying to convert a string to a number, if the string does not match a numeric format.
  • IOException — used for input-output errors, such as working with files or networks.

Example of exception handling in Kotlin:

try {
    val number = "abc".toInt() // will throw NumberFormatException
} catch (e: NumberFormatException) {
    println("Invalid number format")
}
