Exception Hierarchy

The exception hierarchy is a structured way programming languages organize different types of errors that can occur during a program's execution. Think of it like a family tree where the main category is "Error," and under it, there are specific types like "File Not Found" or "Invalid Input." These specific errors inherit properties from their broader categories, making error handling more organized. This structure helps programmers catch and manage errors efficiently, ensuring the program responds appropriately to different problems.
