There are many people on the Internet discussing whether the finally statement in the try...catch...finally block in Java's exception catching mechanism will definitely be executed? Many people say no, of course their answer is correct. After my experiments, there are at least two situations where the finally statement will not be executed:
(1) The try statement is not executed, such as It returns before the try statement, so that the finally statement will not be executed. This also shows that the necessary but not sufficient condition for the finally statement to be executed is: the corresponding try statement must be executed.
(2) There is a statement like System.exit(0); in the try block. System.exit(0); terminates the Java virtual machine JVM. Even the JVM stops and everything is over. , of course the finally statement will not be executed.
Of course, many people discuss the relationship between the execution of the Finally statement and return, which is quite confusing. I wonder whether the finally statement is executed before or after the try return? I'm also confused. I don't think what they said is correct. I think it should be: the finally statement is executed after the try return statement is executed and before the return returns. This statement is a bit contradictory. Maybe my expression is not clear enough. Below I will give some results and examples of my own experiments to support it. If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask them.
public class FinallyTest1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(test1());
}
public static int test1() {
int b = 20;
try {
System.out.println("try block");
return b += 80;
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("catch block");
}
finally {
System.out.println("finally block");
if (b > 25) {
System.out.println("b>25, b = " + b);
}
}
return b;
}
}
try block finally block b>25, b = 100 100
public class FinallyTest1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(test11());
}
public static String test11() {
try {
System.out.println("try block");
return test12();
} finally {
System.out.println("finally block");
}
}
public static String test12() {
System.out.println("return statement");
return "after return";
}
}
try block return statement finally block after return
public class FinallyTest2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(test2());
}
public static int test2() {
int b = 20;
try {
System.out.println("try block");
return b += 80;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("catch block");
} finally {
System.out.println("finally block");
if (b > 25) {
System.out.println("b>25, b = " + b);
}
return 200;
}
// return b;
}
}
try block finally block b>25, b = 100 200
You may think again here: If there is no return statement in finally, but the value of b is modified, then does the return in try return the modified value or the original value? look down.
3. If there is no return statement in the finally statement to overwrite the return value, the original return value may or may not change due to the modification in finally.
public class FinallyTest3 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(test3());
}
public static int test3() {
int b = 20;
try {
System.out.println("try block");
return b += 80;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("catch block");
} finally {
System.out.println("finally block");
if (b > 25) {
System.out.println("b>25, b = " + b);
}
b = 150;
}
return 2000;
}
}
The running result is: try block finally block b>25, b = 100 100
import java.util.*;
public class FinallyTest6
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(getMap().get("KEY").toString());
}
public static Map<string> getMap() {
Map<string> map = new HashMap<string>();
map.put("KEY", "INIT");
try {
map.put("KEY", "TRY");
return map;
}
catch (Exception e) {
map.put("KEY", "CATCH");
}
finally {
map.put("KEY", "FINALLY");
map = null;
}
return map;
}
}</string></string></string>
运行结果是：
FINALLY
为什么测试用例1中finally里的b = 150;并没有起到作用而测试用例2中finally的map.put("KEY", "FINALLY");起了作用而map = null;却没起作用呢？这就是Java到底是传值还是传址的问题了，具体请看精选30道Java笔试题解答，里面有详细的解答，简单来说就是：Java中只有传值没有传址，这也是为什么map = null这句不起作用。这同时也说明了返回语句是try中的return语句而不是 finally外面的return b;这句，不相信的话可以试下，将return b;改为return 294，对原来的结果没有一点影响。
这里大家可能又要想：是不是每次返回的一定是try中的return语句呢？那么finally外的return b不是一点作用没吗？请看下面。
public class FinallyTest4 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(test4());
}
public static int test4() {
int b = 20;
try {
System.out.println("try block");
b = b / 0;
return b += 80;
} catch (Exception e) {
b += 15;
System.out.println("catch block");
} finally {
System.out.println("finally block");
if (b > 25) {
System.out.println("b>25, b = " + b);
}
b += 50;
}
return 204;
}
}
运行结果是：
try block catch block finally block b>25, b = 35 85
这里大家可能又有疑问：如果catch中有return语句呢？当然只有在异常的情况下才有可能会执行，那么是在finally之前就返回吗？看下面。
public class FinallyTest5 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(test5());
}
public static int test5() {
int b = 20;
try {
System.out.println("try block");
b = b /0;
return b += 80;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("catch block");
return b += 15;
} finally {
System.out.println("finally block");
if (b > 25) {
System.out.println("b>25, b = " + b);
}
b += 50;
}
//return b;
}
}
运行结果如下：
try block catch block finally block b>25, b = 35 35
说明了发生异常后，catch中的return语句先执行，确定了返回值后再去执行finally块，执行完了catch再返回，finally里对b的改变对返回值无影响，原因同前面一样，也就是说情况与try中的return语句执行完全一样。
最后总结：finally块的语句在try或catch中的return语句执行之后返回之前执行且finally里的修改语句可能影响也可能不影响try或catch中 return已经确定的返回值，若finally里也有return语句则覆盖try或catch中的return语句直接返回。
