NullPointerException

public class NullPointerException extends RuntimeException

Thrown when an application attempts to use null in a case where an object is required. These include:

  • Calling the instance method of a null object.
  • Accessing or modifying the field of a null object.
  • Taking the length of null as if it were an array.
  • Accessing or modifying the slots of null as if it were an array.
  • Throwing null as if it were a Throwable value.

Applications should throw instances of this class to indicate other illegal uses of the null object. NullPointerException objects may be constructed by the virtual machine as if {@linkplain Throwable#Throwable(String, Throwable, boolean, boolean) suppression were disabled and/or the stack trace was not writable}.
