What behavior will the compiler demonstrate when using checked exceptions in code?

Answer from AI

In Java, checked exceptions require mandatory handling or declaration in the method signature. If the code calls a method that can throw a checked exception, the compiler will check that this exception is either caught in a try-catch block or declared in the method's throws clause. If not, compilation will fail.

For example:

public void readFile() throws IOException {
    // code that may throw IOException
}

public void process() {
    readFile(); // Compilation error if IOException is not handled
}

To fix this, you need to either wrap the call in a try-catch block or declare throws IOException in the process() method.

Thus, the compiler enforces explicit handling of checked exceptions, ensuring more reliable error handling during runtime.
