When is the finally clause of a try-catch-finally statement executed

by

The finally clause of the try-catch-finally statement is always executed unless the thread of execution terminates or an exception occurs within the execution of the finally clause.

The finally clause of a try-catch-finally statement in Java is executed no matter what, whether an exception is thrown or not. It ensures that the code within the finally block is always executed, regardless of whether an exception occurred in the try block or not.

Here’s the typical structure:

java
try {
// Code that might throw an exception
} catch (ExceptionType e) {
// Code to handle the exception
} finally {
// Code that will always be executed, regardless of whether an exception occurred or not
}

So, to answer your question, the finally clause is executed after the try block, and if an exception is thrown, it is executed after the corresponding catch block.
