What are the benefits of using try-with-resources in Java?

Try-with-resources simplifies resource management by automatically closing resources like files and sockets.

Can you give me an example of how it works?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"))) {
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

In this code, the BufferedReader is automatically closed after the try block.

What happens if an exception occurs?

If an exception occurs, it will be caught in the catch block, and the resources will still be closed properly.

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

Yes, it can only be used with resources that implement the AutoCloseable interface. Also, you can't use it with multiple resources in a single try if they are not compatible.
