👉 The `finally` block in Java (and other languages with similar constructs) is a catch clause that executes regardless of whether the code within its try and catch blocks was thrown or not, including scenarios where a nested try block throws an exception. This ensures that certain cleanup actions, such as closing resources or releasing locks, are always performed, preventing resource leaks. Unlike the `try` block, which can be interrupted by nested exceptions, the `finally` block guarantees execution, making it crucial for managing resources effectively.
