Exception
+--Runtime Exception
+--IndexOutOfBoundsException
+--ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
+--StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
If you had a method X that could throw both array index and string index exceptions. Assuming that X does not have any try-catch statements, which of the following statements are correct?
Could someone explain this to me...
The declaration for X doesn't have to include "thows ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, StringIndexOutOfBoundsException"

These are RuntimeExceptions, so you don't have to declare throwing the exceptions.
If you had to always either catch or throw those exceptions, your code would be littered with try/catch blocks and throws statements.
