In Java, the finally
block is a block of code that is used to ensure that certain actions are performed regardless of whether an exception is thrown or caught. The finally
block is typically used in conjunction with a try-catch
block.
Here's an example of how to use the finally
block in Java:
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { try { // Code that might throw an exception goes here } catch (Exception e) { // Code to handle the exception goes here } finally { // Code that is always executed goes here } } }
The code in the finally
block is always executed, whether or not an exception is thrown or caught. This can be useful for performing cleanup tasks, such as closing files or releasing resources.
Note that the finally
block is optional, and you can use it only if you need to perform certain actions regardless of whether an exception is thrown or caught. If you don't need to perform any cleanup tasks, you can omit the finally
block.
You can find more information about the finally
block in the Java documentation.
