Return in a finally blockWhat will happen if we return a value in a finally block?

If the finally block executes successfully the return in the finally block will override the return value set in the try-catch block.

Java

package org.magicworldz.basic.finallyreturn;

public class FinallyReturn {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        var app = new FinallyReturn();
        System.out.println(app.finallyReturn(5));
    }

    public int finallyReturn(int ret) {
        try {
            return ret;
        } finally {
            return 0;
        }
    }

}
