title: Why use finally
body: <p>I never properly understood the use of the finally statement. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between:</p>
  
  <pre><code>try {
      a;
      block;
      off;
      statements;
  } catch (Exception e) {
      handle;
      exception;
      e;
  } finally {
      do;
      some;
      cleanup;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on the one hand and:</p>
  
  <pre><code>try {
      a;
      block;
      off;
      statements;
  } catch (Exception e) {
      handle;
      exception;
      e;
  }
  do;
  some;
  cleanup;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On the other</p>
