Which answer most closely indicates the behavior of the program? public class MyProgram
{
public static void throwit()
{
throw new RuntimeException();
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
System.out.println("Hello world ");
throwit();
System.out.println("Done with try block ");
}
finally
{
System.out.println("Finally executing ");
}
}
}
Correct Answer: The program will print Hello world, then will print Finally executing, then will print that a RuntimeException has occurred.
Explanation:
Once the program throws a RuntimeException (in the throwit() method) that is not caught, the finally block will be executed and the program will be terminated. If a method does not handle an exception, the finally block is executed before the exception is propagated.
