Java's unchecked exceptions are runtime exceptions (RuntimeException and its subclasses) that do not require mandatory handling or declaration in the method signature.

Purpose of unchecked exceptions:

  • Used for errors that are usually caused by programming mistakes, such as NullPointerException, IllegalArgumentException.
  • Allow the code to avoid cluttering with checks and exception handling that are not expected to be recovered.
  • Facilitate development when the exception signals incorrect use of API or logic.

Example:

public int divide(int a, int b) {
    if (b == 0) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Divisor cannot be zero");
    }
    return a / b;
}

Here, IllegalArgumentException is an unchecked exception, and the method is not required to declare it in throws. This indicates incorrect usage of the method.
