Answer 6

In simple words exception occurs when the application does not understand what to do next. Sometimes it is unable to locate the folder/file you have specified.
Sometimes it was expecting numbers but user provided alphabet which it cannot use in mathematical equations. Sometimes an array will have only 5 elements and users asks for 6th elements. Application goes crazy. It shuts down itself.

You wouldn't want this to happen if you are modifying some very important data and application shut down in between. You won't be able to track what's been done and what's not
