Try/catch/finally

[Venkatesh Gowri]

Hello
I have a doubt regarding Try/catch and Finally .
Now will "Finally" execture even if there is no catch block after Try.
That is if The runtime System throws an exception Due to the absence of the Catch Block will the Finally Block Still be Executed.?

 
public class divbyzero
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int x=10;

try
{
int y=10/0;
System.out.println(y);
}
/*catch(ArithmeticException e)
{
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
//System.exit(0);
}*/
finally
{
 System.out.println("Hello");
}
}
}

Now in the above example i have commented the catch block but this is the output i get an Arithmetic Exception but the finally block never gets exectued.
can u please Help me
thanks

The finally gets executed always, if it is present, except special cases like, System.exit
Even in ur example also, the output is
Hello
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
at divbyzero.main(divbyzero.java:9)
It directly goes to Finally block as the exception is not caught and exceutes finally and gives exception.

this code doesn't even compile
gives the following error message while compiling
cannot compute value of expression: class Error const *.

The code compiled and raised Arithemetic exception after printing Hello on the screen.
Sample output.

I get:
divbyzero.java:9: Arithmetic exception.
int y=10/0;
at compile time.
Do different compilers act differently when they see constant integer division by 0?
