Consider the following code snippet:
Public double[] readInputFile(String filename) throws IOException
{
File inputFile = new File(filename);
Scanner in = new Scanner(inputFile);
Try
{
ReadData(in);
Return data;
}
Finally
{
InputFile.close();
}
}
Which of the following statements about this method's code is correct?
A) The method will never execute the finally clause if an IOException exception occurs in this method.
B) This method will pass any type of exception back to the caller.
C) This method will pass any IOException-type exception back to the caller.
D) Any exceptions that occur in this method will be suppressed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The method declares that it throws an IOException exception and handles it by attempting to close the inputFile in the finally clause. Therefore, if an IOException is not caught and handled within the method, it will be passed back to the caller. It is not guaranteed that the finally clause will execute if an exception is thrown, but it is the best practice to include resource-closing code in a finally clause to ensure that resources are properly released. Option A is incorrect because the finally clause will execute whether or not an exception is thrown. Option B is incorrect because the method specifically throws an IOException and does not handle or throw any other type of exception. Option D is incorrect because any exceptions that occur in this method will not be suppressed, as they will be either caught and handled or passed back to the caller.
