What are some examples of using finally blocks in programming?

Can you explain what a finally block is in programming?

A finally block is used in exception handling to execute code after try and catch blocks, regardless of whether an exception occurred.

Can you give me some examples of how to use a finally block?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Java:

try {
    // code that may throw an exception
} catch (Exception e) {
    // handle exception
} finally {
    // cleanup code, always runs
}

Are there any differences in how finally blocks work in different programming languages?

Yes, while the concept is similar, the syntax and behavior can vary. For example, Python uses a finally clause in a try statement, while JavaScript uses try...catch...finally.

Can you show me a Python example of a finally block?

Certainly! Here's a Python example:

try:
    # code that may raise an exception
except Exception as e:
    # handle exception
finally:
    # cleanup code, always runs
