Question: why should we extend Exception instead of Throwable?
Answer: We usually extend Exception instead of Throwable. Why? In what situations we extend Throwable.
Could anybody give the answer in detail. Thanks in advance. |

RE: why should we extend Exception instead of Throwable?

Extending the Exception class (a descendant of Throwable) instead of extending Throwable itself is a programming convention, not a requirement.
Like most conventions, following the convention lends consistency to the end result. |
