Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The file will be closed if the writeData() statement throws an exception because the close() method is in the finally block, which always executes after the try block, regardless of whether an exception is thrown. However, if the PrintWriter constructor throws an exception, the inner try block is never entered, and thus the file is not opened or closed.
