Runtime exceptions are a category of exceptions that occur during the execution of a program, often indicating a problem that the program cannot recover from, such as logic errors or improper use of APIs. Unlike checked exceptions, runtime exceptions do not need to be declared in a method's 'throws' clause, allowing for more flexible error handling strategies in Java programming.

Logic errors occur when a program compiles and runs but produces incorrect results due to flawed reasoning in the code. Unlike syntax errors, which prevent code from compiling, logic errors require careful debugging and testing to identify and correct, as they often stem from incorrect assumptions or flawed algorithms.

Checked exceptions are a feature in some programming languages, like Java, where the compiler enforces error handling by requiring that a method either catches or declares any exceptions it might throw. This mechanism aims to increase program robustness by ensuring that developers anticipate and handle potential error conditions explicitly at compile time.
