Question: If execution doesn't cause exception then control goes to finally block. **So is the return statement in try block is being ignored by JVM?** . Or if exception occurs then control goes to catch block there also it ignored return statment and control go to finally block and return from finally

```
  public class Helper {
     public int showException(int a, int b){

           try{
           int c=a/b;
           return c;
           } catch(Exception e){
                return 0;
           } finally{
               return 3;
             }
     }
  }

```

Answer: 
finally block always executed whether the try catch block execute or not
Finally will get called last no matter if the catch block is called or not. Perhaps you want to read more documentation. [MSDN Try Catch Finally](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/4yahc5d8%28v=vs.94%29.aspx)
