Additional Notes
When a ‘catch’ block adds value?

Java: try catch finally
Answer
A 'catch' block adds value when it logs or handles specific exceptions.
A 'catch' block is valuable when it addresses specific exceptions or logs them for debugging. Simply catching exceptions without processing is often an anti-pattern. For example, logging an error message when an IOException occurs during file operations can help diagnose issues later.
