Finally in java

finally:

finally block is mainly used to do clean-up task. It is always executed even when no exception occur. It will not execute only in case program exits using System.exit() or because of some fatal error cause program to abort. It is followed by either catch or try block.
Note: A try block can have one or more catch block associated with it, but only one finally block can be associates with it.

Syntax of finally without catch:

try{

//block of statements

}finally{

}

Syntax of finally with catch:

try{

//block of statements

}catch(){

}finally{

}

Example: finally block when exception occur and handled.

FinallyExceptionExample2.java

/**
 * This program used to show the use of finally block 
 * when exception occur and handled.
 * @author w3spoint
 */
class ArithmaticTest{
	/**
	 * This method is used to divide two integers.
	 * @param num1
	 * @param num2
	 * @author w3spoint
	 */
	public void division(int num1, int num2){
		try{
			//java.lang.ArithmeticException here.
			System.out.println(num1/num2);
                //catch ArithmeticException here.
		}catch(ArithmeticException e){
			//print exception.
			System.out.println(e);
		}finally{//It will always execute.
		      System.out.println("Finally will always execute.");
		}
 
	   System.out.println("Remaining code after exception handling.");
	}
}
 
public class FinallyExceptionExample2 {
	public static void main(String args[]){
		//creating ArithmaticTest object
		ArithmaticTest obj =  new ArithmaticTest();
 
		//method call
		obj.division(20, 0);
	}
}

Output:

java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
Finally will always execute.
Remaining code after exception handling.

Example: finally block when exception occur but not handled.

FinallyExceptionExample3.java

/**
 * This program used to show the use of finally block 
 * when exception occur but not handled.
 * @author w3spoint
 */
class ArithmaticTest{
	/**
	 * This method is used to divide two integers.

	 * @param num2
	 * @author w3spoint
	 */
	public void division(int num1, int num2){
		try{
			//java.lang.ArithmeticException here.
			System.out.println(num1/num2);
		}finally{//It will always execute.
		      System.out.println("Finally will always execute.");
		}
 
	  System.out.println("Remaining code after exception handling.");
	}
}
 
public class FinallyExceptionExample3 {
	public static void main(String args[]){
		//creating ArithmaticTest object
		ArithmaticTest obj =  new ArithmaticTest();
 
		//method call
		obj.division(20, 0);
	}
}

Output:

Finally will always execute.
