I'm writing a loop that ignored the Exception and it works well.
for (; flag; ) {
try {
//do something ignore exception.
Runnable r = queue.pollFirst();
r.run();
} catch (Exception ignored) {
// ignored.
}
}
But my question is: If I don't catch RuntimeException and force continue loop in finally block, what will happen to the Exception and returned value?
Example:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
try {
System.out.println(i);
throw new RuntimeException();
} finally {
//what will happen to the exception if continue loop?
continue;
}
}
Runtime Exception will be ignored because there is no catch block to access/use (e.g. for logging purpose) thrown object of java.lang.RuntimeException. finally block does not have any access to Exception object thrown by try block. Its better to have catch block to get more information.
Not sure why you would want to catch a RuntimeException because by the time you even try catching it, it's too late therefore your continue will never hit.
They will be
ignored
as thefinally
block has thefinal
word.
