finally Java Keyword


The finally keyword is used to define a block that is always executed in a try−catch−finally statement.
A finally block typically contains cleanup code that recovers from partial execution of a try block.

Examples

try
{
<block that may throw exceptions>
}
catch (<java.lang.Exception or subclass> e)
{
<code to handle exception e>
}
finally
{
<statements that execute with or without exception>
}

Generalization and Specialization

Generalization creates a concept with a broader scope. Specialization creates a concept with a narrower scope. Reusing the interface!  Inheritance: get the interface from the general class. Objects related by inheritance are all of the same type.

The Class Concept

A class is a collection of objects (or values) and a corresponding set of methods.  A class encapsulates the data representation and makes data access possible at a higher level of abstraction. Example 1: A set of vehicles with operations for starting, stopping, driving, get km/liter, etc. Example 2: A time interval, start time, end time, duration, overlapping intervals, etc. Example 3: A string, upper case, compare, lower case, etc.  str.equals(otherStr) – class/Java style   strcmp(str, otherStr) – C style

The Object Concept

An object is an encapsulation of data.  An object has identity (a unique reference)  social security number (cpr), employee number, passport number state, also called characteristics (variables)  hungry, sad, drunk, running, alive  behavior (methods) eat, drink, wave, smile, kiss  An object is an instance of an class   A class is often called an Abstract Data Type (ADT).
