👉 The `finally` block in Java is a part of the `try-catch-finally` construct, used to execute code regardless of whether an exception was thrown or caught in the preceding `try` block. It's particularly useful for releasing resources like closing files, database connections, or network sockets, ensuring they are properly closed even if an error occurs. Unlike `try-catch`, which stops execution upon catching an exception, `finally` guarantees resource cleanup. This makes it ideal for scenarios where resource management is critical and exceptions might occur, ensuring consistent behavior across various execution paths.
