The document discusses exception handling in Java. It defines exceptions as errors encountered during program execution. Exception handling involves using try, catch, and finally blocks. The try block contains code that may throw exceptions. Catch blocks handle specific exception types, while finally blocks contain cleanup code that always executes. Common system-defined exceptions like NullPointerException and user-defined exceptions can be thrown using the throw keyword and handled using try-catch. Nested try-catch blocks and multiple catch blocks are also described.
