RuntimeException
RuntimeExceptions do not require try/catch blocks in the code. They can usually be avoided with proper care when coding. However, when mistakes are not detected and the RuntimeException is uncaught, it will cause the application to fail and display issue information that the user may not always understand. In this exercise, you will see what happens when you don't catch a possible RuntimeException and what happens when you do try/catch them.

Instruções do exercício
- Examine the
withoutTryCatch()andwithTryCatchmethods in this application and note difference between them. - Run the application without changes - which results in the
withoutTryCatch()method to execute that causes aRuntimeException. - Comment out line 5 and uncomment line 7, and then rerun the application - which results in the
withTryCatch()method executing which this time handles theRuntimeException.
