Java - Exception Handling

Consider this method:

public static int test() {
    try {
        System.out.print("Try-");
        throw new RuntimeException();
    } catch(RuntimeException e) {
        System.out.print("Catch-");
        return 1;
    } finally {
        System.out.print("Finally-");
        return 2;
    }
}

What will System.out.print(test()); output?

ATry-Catch-Finally-1

BTry-Catch-Finally-2

CTry-Finally-2

DCatch-Finally-1

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Trace try block execution
Try prints "Try-" then throws RuntimeException.
Step 2: Catch block handles exception
Catch prints "Catch-" and returns 1, but return is not final yet.
Step 3: finally block overrides return
Finally prints "Finally-" and returns 2, overriding previous return 1.
Step 4: Combine printed output and return value
Printed output is "Try-Catch-Finally-" and method returns 2, so print(test()) outputs "2" after prints.
Final Answer:
Try-Catch-Finally-2 -> Option B
Quick Check:
finally return overrides catch return = A [OK]

Quick Trick: finally return overrides other returns [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Ignoring finally return overriding catch return
Assuming catch return is final
Missing printed output before return
