Additional Notes
When does a ‘finally’ block execute?
Track: Java
Topic: Exceptions
Focus: try catch finally
Java: try catch finally
Answer
A 'finally' block executes after try and catch blocks, regardless of exception occurrence.
The 'finally' block is designed to execute cleanup code, such as closing resources, whether or not an exception was thrown. This ensures that resource management is handled consistently. In an e-commerce context, a 'finally' block might be used to release database connections after attempting an order update.
