        abstract = {Exception handling is a critical aspect of robust software development. Java provides a structured and powerful exception handling mechanism that improves program reliability, maintainability, and fault tolerance. This research paper presents a comparative study of exception handling mechanisms in Java, analyzing different types of exceptions, handling techniques, and their behavior compared to traditional error-handling approaches. The paper also evaluates Java’s exception model against other programming paradigms, highlighting its advantages and limitations. Diagrams, flow representations, and code examples are included to enhance conceptual clarity.},
