What is exception handler? | Definition from TechTarget

▤ Summary

However, if an unplanned event occurs during the programs execution, it can disrupt the normal flow of its instructions and result in an unexpected or undesirable output. Generally, in computing and software engineering contexts, an exception occurs while a program is executing and disrupts the flow of its instructions. These exceptions are often unrecoverable and can lead to serious problems and erroneous outcomes, including unexpected application stops or crashes. In Java, exceptions might occur due to invalid user input, device failure or coding errors. Out-of-disk memory, a user trying to open an available file and a loss of network connection might also throw an exception that disrupts the program.
