reg. super class exceptions

[sanjay kumar]

"cannot catch an exception unless it is thrown in try block"

try
{
}

catch(FileNotFoundException)
{
}

//gives compiler error.
but you can catch a super class exception which is not thrown in try block.
try
{
}

catch(Exception)
{
}
// no compiler error
what are all the super class exceptions?
whether i should know all the exceptions for the exam (1.4)

What can you catch when try block does not throw exception?
