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

According to my test:

When Exception is thrown by try Block, i has same value when it comes in catch block (as its not incremented due to exception)

and then inside catch block same exception is thrown and which is again caught by catch block !

I tried Following Code

try {
            System.out.println("Try " + i);
            i++;
            main(args);
        } catch (StackOverflowError e) {
            System.out.println("\nBefore");
            System.out.println("Catch " + i);
            i++;
            System.out.println("After");
            main(args);
            
        }

Output :

Try 28343
Try 28344
Before
Before
Before
Before
Catch 28344
After
Try 28345
Try 28346
Try 28347
Try 28348
Before
Before
Before
Before
Catch 28348
After
Try 28349

when try block throws exception it is caught by catch block but when it goes to System.out.println("Catch " + i); again Exception is thrown 4 times (in my eclipse) Without printing System.out.println("Catch " + i);

As in above output, i have tested it by printing "Before" Text which is printed four times before it prints System.out.println("Catch " + i);
