What are the differences between AutoCloseable and try-with-resources?

Can you explain the differences between AutoCloseable and try-with-resources?

Sure! AutoCloseable is an interface that allows an object to be closed automatically, while try-with-resources is a statement that ensures resources are closed at the end of the statement.

How does try-with-resources work in practice?

In practice, you declare your resources within the parentheses of the try statement. They are automatically closed when the try block is exited, either normally or due to an exception.

Are there any advantages to using try-with-resources?

Yes, it simplifies resource management and reduces the risk of resource leaks, making your code cleaner and safer.

Can you give me an example of using AutoCloseable?

Certainly! Here's a simple example: if you have a class that implements AutoCloseable, you can use it in a try-with-resources statement to ensure it gets closed automatically.
