In try,catch clauses either try clause(If exception is not happend) or catch clause(If exception occures) is exicuted.If we want to exicute a block of statements doesn't depend on exception then we put those block of statements in finally block.

i.e finally block execution doesn't depend on the exception.If exception doesn't occur then "try ,finally " clauses other wise "catch  , finally" will be exicuted.

You dont need the "finally" clause. Leave it out altogether, and the same thing happens - the code will get executed anyway. The "finally" clause is irrelevant.
