👉 The `finally` block is a construct used in many programming languages, particularly in Java and C#, to ensure that certain code is executed regardless of whether an exception was thrown or caught. Unlike `try` and `catch` blocks, which can be skipped if an exception is handled elsewhere, the `finally` block guarantees that specific cleanup actions, such as closing files or releasing resources, are performed. This makes it invaluable for maintaining program stability and resource management.
