title: Java - When is it a compiler error and when is it a runtime exception?
body: <p>I am currently studying for the SCJP certification using the Sierra and Bates Study Guide and in many of the self tests (mock exam questions) I keep running into the same problem - I can't tell whether a particular error will be at runtime (an exception) or at compile (compile error). I know this is a bit of a vague question and that it might not be possible to answer but, how can I tell if an error will be found at compile or at runtime? Would you be able to send me some website links that might be able to help me? </p>
