        result = 2;
        throw new IOException(\"Exception rised.\");
    } catch (ArrayInd         


        

Answer 1

The finally block executes no matter what exception is thrown. It doesn't just execute after the exceptions are caught by the catch blocks you declare. It executes after the try block and exceptions caught if any. If your method throws an exception, it can't return anything unless you swallow it within your method and return result. But you can't have both.

Also, unless your method has any other code, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException will never be encountered either.
