Execution of finally

[sampath kumar]

Hi all,

Consider this block
try
{
System.exit();
}
finally
{
System.out.print("finally");
}

Will finally block execute? If so which executes first System.exit() or finally block...

[marc weber]

What happens when you try it?

[abhijit Ohal]

System.exit(0); will shut down JVM so it won't come in finally block.

System.exit() is a exception where finally block is not executed.
