Execution of code following catch block in java

Question

If an exception is caught, is the code that follows the exception executed? That is, after the catch {...} block.

{
    .....

    try {
        .....
    }
    catch (some exception se) {
        .....
    }

    .....

}

Answer 1

As a rule yes (because you have caught the exception an dealt with it), but it depends what you do in the catch block (i.e. do you re-throw the exception?).

Answer 2

If the catch block returns, breaks (while in loop), throws a runtime exception or issues System.exit - no. Otherwise, the code should go through. I'm sure there are some factors I'm forgetting here.

Answer 3

    ...
    try {
        // Code block 1
    }
    catch (some execption se) {
        // Code block 2: run if there is exception in Code block 1
    }
    // This block will run if there is no exception/return/break/Sytem.exit() in Code block 2
