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

finally block in java can be used to put "cleanup" code such as closing a file, closing connection etc.

The finally block will not be executed if program exits(either by calling System.exit() or by causing a fatal error that causes the process to abort).
