/** 
 * An Error is a subclass of Throwable 
 * that indicates serious problems that a reasonable application 
 * should not try to catch. Most such errors are abnormal conditions. 
 * The ThreadDeath error, though a "normal" condition,
 * is also a subclass of Error because most applications
 * should not try to catch it. 
 * 

 * A method is not required to declare in its throws 
 * clause any subclasses of Error that might be thrown 
 * during the execution of the method but not caught, since these 
 * errors are abnormal conditions that should never occur.
