Hi

I tried to explore the real-life usage of the **finally block** in _try … catch … finally_ construct. Everywhere, I just saw something like trace(“_inside finally block_.”);

If this bock is executed in all the circumstance, _whether there is an error or not_, then what would be the point to keeping it inside the error-catching construct.

Any comments, please!
