What happens if a `try` block has a return statement? Does the `finally` block still execute?

If a try block contains a return statement, the finally block will still execute before the method actually returns. This happens because the finally block is guaranteed to execute regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not.

However, if the finally block also contains a return statement, it will override the return value from the try block.

For example:

public int exampleMethod() {
    try {
        return 1;
    } finally {
        System.out.println("Finally block");
    }
}

In this case, “Finally block” will be printed, and the method will return 1. The finally block always runs before the method returns.
