What will be the output of the program?

public class Foo 
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        try 
        { 
            return; 
        } 
        finally 
        {
            System.out.println( "Finally" ); 
        } 
    } 
}

  • A.Compilation fails.
  • B.Finally
  • C.The code runs with no output.
  • D.An exception is thrown at runtime.

Answer: B

If you put a finally block after a try and its associated catch blocks, then once execution enters the try block, the code in that finally block will definitely be executed except in the following circumstances:

  1. An exception arising in the finally block itself.
  2. The death of the thread.
  3. The use of System.exit()
  4. Turning off the power to the CPU.

I suppose the last three could be classified as VM shutdown.
