+/**
+ * An {@code Error} is a subclass of {@code Throwable}
+ * that indicates serious problems that a reasonable application
+ * should not try to catch. Most such errors are abnormal conditions.
+ * The {@code ThreadDeath} error, though a "normal" condition,
+ * is also a subclass of {@code Error} because most applications
+ * should not try to catch it.
+ * <p>
+ * A method is not required to declare in its {@code throws}
+ * clause any subclasses of {@code Error} that might be thrown
+ * during the execution of the method but not caught, since these
+ * errors are abnormal conditions that should never occur.
+ *
+ * That is, {@code Error} and its subclasses are regarded as unchecked
+ * exceptions for the purposes of compile-time checking of exceptions.
