Considering this code, can I be absolutely sure that the finally block always executes, no matter what something() is?

try         


        

Answer 1

Example code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(Test.test());
}

public static int test() {
    try {
        return 0;
    }
    finally {
        System.out.println("finally trumps return.");
    }
}

Output:

finally trumps return.
