...Or I could try. Yes, the "finally" block is executed after executing
the "catch" block if an exception was caught, or when leaving the "try"
block if there wasn't. That includes both normal completion and uncaught
exceptions.
This is useful for cleanup stuff, as you say--mostly because Java doesn't
have C++'s destructors to take the cleanup out of your hands.
