public class IncorrectRatingException extends Exception
Checked exception thrown when an attempt is made to create or save a product review with a rating that falls outside the allowed range (typically 1–5 stars).

The rating in Review is a mandatory integer value representing customer satisfaction. Valid ratings are strictly defined as:

  • Minimum: 1 (lowest satisfaction)
  • Maximum: 5 (highest satisfaction)
Values outside this range (0, negative numbers, 6+, fractional values, or null) are considered invalid and violate the business rules of the review system.

Typical scenarios that trigger this exception:

This is a checked exception, forcing the caller to explicitly handle invalid ratings. It represents a recoverable validation error commonly occurring during user-generated content submission — not a programming defect.
