Throwable
|---Error
|---Exception
----|
----|---RuntimeException
----|---InterruptedException
----|---IOException
Except for RuntimeException, Error and their subclasses, all exceptions are called checked exceptions.
Unchecked exceptions cannot be predicted before hand and your code will compile even if you don't catch the exception. But if runtime if your code throws the exception...then that thrown exception will move up in the exception stack till it reaches the parent class and the thread will die if the exception is not handled at all, and that exception is handled by default exception handler. The example of unchecked exception is ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
In case of checked exceptions the method must either catch the exception and take the appropriate action, or pass on the exception to its caller. IOException is an example of Checked Exception.
I hope this clears ur doubt.
