Why is only finally used in a try block without catch exception handling in some cases?

In Java, a try block with only finally and no catch is used when you need to guarantee the execution of certain code (for example, releasing resources), regardless of whether an exception occurs or not, but you do not need to handle the exception at this point.

This is useful when:

• You want to propagate the exception further rather than handle it locally.
• It is important to perform cleanup (close a file, release a connection) regardless of the outcome.

Example:

try {
    // code that may throw an exception
} finally {
    // cleanup code that will always execute
}

If an exception occurs, it will be propagated after the finally block executes.
