Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
try block, then catch block, then finally block
The try block contains risky code, catch handles the exception, and finally executes cleanup. The order is try, catch, then finally.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
try block, then catch block, then finally block
Why this is correct
This is correct because the try block contains the code that may throw an exception. If an exception occurs, it is caught by the catch block. The finally block executes regardless of whether an exception occurred, typically for cleanup.
- ✗
catch block, then try block, then finally block
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the try block must be defined first to enclose the risky code. Without a preceding try block, a catch block has no exception to handle.
- ✗
finally block, then try block, then catch block
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the finally block is intended to run after the try block completes, not before. Placing it first would cause a compilation error as finally requires a preceding try block.
- ✗
try block, then finally block, then catch block
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because if an exception occurs in the try block, it must be caught by a catch block before any finally block. The finally block runs after the catch block, not before.
