Does a finally block always get executed in Java?

Question

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

try         


        

Answer 1

Answer is simple YES.

INPUT:

try{
    int divideByZeroException = 5 / 0;
} catch (Exception e){
    System.out.println("catch");
    return;    // also tried with break; in switch-case, got same output
} finally {
    System.out.println("finally");
}

OUTPUT:

catch
finally
