Why do we use finally blocks?

Question

As far as I can tell, both of the following code snippets will serve the same purpose. Why have finally blocks at all?

Code A:

try { /*          


        

Answer 1

Even though our application is closed forcefully there will be some tasks, which we must execute (like memory release, closing database, release lock, etc), if you write these lines of code in the finally block it will execute whether an exception is thrown or not...

Your application may be a collection of threads, Exception terminates the thread but not the whole application, in this case finally is more useful.

In some cases finally won't execute such as JVM Fail, Thread terminate, etc.
