Both syntax errors, which you must deal with before you can compile and run your application, and run time exceptions. Those exceptions that occur while the application is running. In the empty made method, I'll start by introducing a syntax error. If you've been coding for any amount of time, I'm sure you've seen some of these. I'll declare a String that I'll name s. And I'll try to assign it to the keyword Null. Now, I'll intentionally misspell it. The keyword Null in Java is all lower case.
