Class Overview

RuntimeException is the superclass of all classes that represent exceptional conditions which occur as a result of executing an application in the VM. Unlike checked exceptions (exceptions where the type doesn't extend RuntimeException or Error ), the compiler does not require code to handle runtime exceptions.
