Java provides specific exception classes for common exceptional situations. Some of the commonly used specific exception classes in Java are:

  1. ArithmeticException: This exception is thrown when an arithmetic operation fails. For example, dividing a number by zero.

  2. NullPointerException: This exception is thrown when a null reference is used where an object is required.

  3. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: This exception is thrown when an invalid index is used to access an array.

To handle specific exceptions in Java, you can use the try-catch statements. The try block contains the code that may throw an exception, and the catch block is used to handle the specific exception.

In the example code provided, we have a divide method that divides two integers. If the divisor is zero, it throws an ArithmeticException with the message "Division by zero is not allowed." In the main method, we attempt to divide 10 by 0 and catch the ArithmeticException to handle the exception. The error message is then printed to the console.

When running the code, you will see the output:

SNIPPET
1An arithmetic exception occurred: Division by zero is not allowed.
