Exceptions

[Tina Ang]

MindQ's question # 31
Consider the code below:
void myMethod()
{ try
{
fragile();
}
catch( NullPointerException npex )
{
System.out.println( "NullPointerException thrown " );
}
catch( Exception ex )
{
System.out.println( "Exception thrown " );
}
finally
{
System.out.println( "Done with exceptions " );
}
System.out.println( "myMethod is done" );
}
What is printed to standard output if fragile() throws an IllegalArgumentException?
a) "NullPointerException thrown"
b) "Exception thrown"
c) "Done with exceptions"
d) "myMethod is done"
e) Nothing is printed
MindQ's answer is B,C,D. Why was D included?
Thanks!

try-catch block are for this only .
I mean ... not to terminate ur program when there is any exception, if there is any exception that is handled properly then NEXT statement after the try-catch block will be executed.
In ur case IllegalArgumentException is thrown and handled by Exception block, finally has to be executed. As exception has been handled so NEXT stmt after try-catch will be executed which is option D.
