An exception is not an error created when a try-catch statement is used. Is this correct?
Yes, that statement is correct. In programming, an exception is not considered an error in the traditional sense. Instead, an exception is a signal that an unusual or exceptional situation has occurred during the execution of code.
When a try-catch statement is used, it allows you to handle exceptions gracefully without causing the entire program to terminate. The try block contains the code that may potentially throw an exception. If an exception is thrown within the try block, it is caught by the catch block(s) associated with the corresponding type of exception. The catch block(s) can then handle the exception, perform any necessary cleanup, and continue the execution of the program.
So, an exception is not an error, but rather an event that disrupts the normal flow of execution and requires a specific handling mechanism, such as a try-catch statement.
