It explains the finally keyword, so you have reported the exception as
normal: i.e. you have either caught it or declared it to be thrown,
but if you use the finally keyword, the block of code inside finally
braces is always executed.
This is use, in particular, when you open a stream, and an exception
occurs, perhaps because the underlying file is not found, then the
finally block allows you to close the stream before the program ends.
