1) without return statement in read method

class Example

    public s         


        

Answer 1

Branching statements(return ,goto ) should no be used inside finally because execution of such statement nullifies other instructions which are executed before finally.

The Java Language Specification says : If execution of the try block completes abruptly for any other reason R, then the finally block is executed, and then there is a choice:

1. If the finally block completes normally, then the try statement completes abruptly for reason R.
2. If the finally block completes abruptly for reason S, then the try statement completes abruptly for reason S (and reason R is discarded).

Note - A return statement inside a finally block will cause any exception that might be thrown in the try or catch block to be discarded.
