flow control

public class Test
{
 static String j = "";
 public static void method( int i)
 {
  try
  {
   if(i == 2)
   {
     throw new Exception();
   }
   j += "1";
  }
  catch (Exception e)
  {
   j += "2";
   return;
  }
  finally
  {
   j += "3";
  }
  j += "4";
 }
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
  method(1);
  method(2);
  System.out.println(j);
 }
}
 

output is 13423
my analysis output was 134234
 
question:- why is the last statement ( j+=4) is not executed ? what rule forbids it.?
 
TIA

You have a return statement in catch exception clause which will cause the control to return to the calling method after the exception is caught and finally block executed.
