Is it possible to use a try-finally construct instead of try-catch-finally for exception handling?

The try-finally construct can be used without catch if you need to guarantee the execution of the finally block regardless of whether an exception occurs or not, but without the need to handle the exception inside this block.

However, if you need to catch and handle the exception, then a catch block is necessary.

Example of using try-finally without catch:

try {
    // code that may throw an exception
} finally {
    // code that will execute in any case (e.g., resource release)
}

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

In summary:

• try-catch-finally — for exception handling and cleanup actions.
• try-finally — for executing cleanup actions without handling exceptions.

The choice depends on the task: if you need to handle exceptions — use catch; if you only want to guarantee the execution of code — finally is sufficient.
