Checked Exceptions

When a part of your code might throw a "checked" exception, other parts of your code need to account for that possibility.

int divide(int x, int y) {
    if (y == 0) {
        // Will not work because nothing handles the exception
        throw new Exception();
    }

    return x / y;
}
void main() {
    
}

We call them "checked" because you need to "check" for them.

These are generally¹ used when you expect calling code to be able to do something intelligent to recover if the exception is thrown.
