Exception Vs Error
An error is an irrecoverable condition occurring at runtime like out of memory error. These kind of jvm errors cannot be handled at runtime. Exceptions are because of condition failures, which can be handled easily at runtime.
Famous Quotations
Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.
