Hello Java Experts - Could you help me understand why the line after the catch block is executed. My understanding is after the exception - the flow goes to the catch block and does not execute beyond unless there is a finally block. Correct my understanding. Thank you -

public class NoExceptionHandling{
public static void main(String[] args){
int x=2, y=4, z=0;
try{
y=x/z; // division by 0
System.out.println("This line is not executed because of the exception");
}// end try
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception!");
}//end of catch block
System.out.println("Here we print the value of x/z = " + y); // I expected that this line will not be executed. See the output
}// end main method
}// end of class NoExceptionHandling
-------------------------------------------------------------
C:\ForAni\Java>java NoExceptionHandling
Exception!
Here we print the value of x/z = 4

the whole point of try catch is to recover your program from the known errors/exception.... in a program with out try catch ...it would probably crash....

so if exception occours in try block ...the code with in the try block after the exception is skipped....and the relavant action is taken in cathe...but the rest of the program should work normally....
