The java.util.RuntimeException class is a type of exception in Java that represents exceptions that can occur during the runtime of a program. It is a subclass of the java.lang.Exception class and does not need to be declared in the throws clause of a method or caught by a try-catch block.
RuntimeExceptions are typically caused by programming errors or unforeseen circumstances that could not be anticipated by the programmer. Examples of runtime exceptions include NullPointerException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, and IllegalArgumentException. These exceptions should not be caught and recovered from, as they usually indicate a serious problem in the code that needs to be fixed. If a runtime exception is not caught by the program, it will cause the program to terminate.
