Description: An unhandled exception refers to a situation where an error occurs in the code and is not managed by any ‘catch’ block in the application. This means that the normal flow of execution is interrupted, and in most cases, the application stops abruptly. Unhandled exceptions can arise for various reasons, such as logic errors, resource access issues, or unexpected conditions that have not been anticipated in the code. Exceptions are objects that typically inherit from a base exception class, and proper handling is crucial for the stability and robustness of applications. When an exception is not caught, the runtime environment generates an error message and, depending on the application’s configuration, may display a dialog box to the user or log the error in a log file. It is important for developers to implement proper exception handling to prevent these situations from leading to a poor user experience or data loss. The common practice is to use ‘try-catch’ blocks to capture and handle exceptions, allowing the application to continue functioning in a controlled manner even in the face of unexpected errors.
