Can we have a try block without a catch block in Java?

Yes, It is possible to have a try block without a catch block by using a final block.

As we know, a final block will always execute even there is an exception occurred in a try block, except System.exit() it will execute always.

Example 1

 public class TryBlockWithoutCatch { public static void main(String[] args) { try { System.out.println("Try Block"); } finally { System.out.println("Finally Block"); } } } 

Output

 Try Block Finally Block 

A final block will always execute even though the method has a return type and try block returns some value.

Example 2

 public class TryWithFinally { public static int method() { try { System.out.println("Try Block with return type"); return 10; } finally { System.out.println("Finally Block always execute"); } } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(method()); } } 

Output

 Try Block with return type Finally Block always execute 10
