What is an Exception in .NET?

Exceptions are errors that occur during the runtime of a program.
The advantage of using exceptions is that the program doesn’t terminate due to the occurrence of the exception.
Whenever an exception is occurred the .NET runtime throws an object of specified type of Exception.
