We use exception handling so that the program can gracefully handle any situation that may be unexpected.
We use try-catch for exception handling.
if-else is a conditional logic checking mechanism
When an exception is thrown within the body of a try statement, the catch clauses of the try statement are examined in the order in which they appear. The first catch clause that is capable of handling the exception that was thrown, is executed. The remaining catch clauses are ignored
Exception handling should be used in Java in all cases where you as a programmer suspect that your code might throw some exceptions or create errors that might look ugly when a user is using the application. In such cases you use exception handling to catch and handle the exception and exit gracefully. You use the try - catch block in Java for exception handling.
Exception handling helps us catch or identify abnormal scenarios in our code and handle them appropriately instead of throwing up a random error on the front-end (User Interface) of the application. Exception handling allows developers to detect errors easily without writing special code to test return values. Even better, it lets us keep exception-handling code cleanly separated from the exception-generating code. It also lets us use the same exception-handling code to deal with a range of possible exceptions
A try statement is used in conjunction with one or more catch blocks to provide exception handling. If an exception is thrown by a try block, the corresponding catch block will handle the exception. If no catch block is provided for a particular exception, then a runtime error occurs instead. Try-catch statements are used to provide graceful resolutions to potential runtime errors.
Because you can and you should, unless you want your program to crash if an exception occurs.
no, because catch is used to handle exceptions which are generated from try block

It is called an exception. There are two ways of handling exceptions inside java methods. The method can have a try catch block and handle the error/exception inside the method. Or The method can throw the exception under the assumption that the calling method would have the code to handle the exception that is thrown by this method
Yes, the purpose of the try-catch construct in Java is to help the system handle failure gracefully. Exception handling allows developers to detect errors easily without writing special code to test return values. Even better, it lets us keep exception-handling code cleanly separated from the exception-generating code. It also lets us use the same exception-handling code to deal with a range of possible exceptions.
A Catch block is part of the exception handling mechanism in Java. It is used along with the try block. Ex: try { ... } catch (Exception e) { ... } The catch block is used to catch & handle the exception that gets thrown in the try block.
The important keywords used in Java with respect to Exception Handling are: a. Throw - The "throw" keyword is used to throw exceptions from inside a method b. Throws - The "throws" keyword is used to signify the fact that the code contents within the current method may be throwing an exception and the calling method must handle them appropriately
Exception handling is largely the same for both. The only real difference is that C++ has no 'finally' clause which always executes whether an exception occurs or not. Another difference is that Java throws exceptions and errors, but errors cannot be handled since programs cannot handle errors -- such as the JVM out of memory error.
