Confusing output from infinite recursion within try-catch

Question

Consider the following code.

public class Action {
private static int i=1;
public static void main(String[] args)          


        

Answer 1

What I suspect being happening is this:

1. Print i
2. Print newline
3. Increase i
4. Enter main
5. Print i
6. Print newline
7. Increase i
8. Enter main
9. Print i
10. StackOverflow got thrown (instead of print newline)
11. Return to main, now in the catch
12. Print i
13. StackOverflow got thrown again (instead of print newline)
14. Return to main, in another catch body.
15. Print i
16. Print newline (now doesn't fail anymore, because we are two levels higher)
17. Enter main, and go back to 1.
