Why can't the "Statements following the structure" be used to close a file that the method has opened?
Answer:
These statements will not execute if the try{} block throws an
unhandled Exception.
Exception Catch-all
If the last catch block catches Exception,
then it will catch any specific Exception not caught
in the preceeding blocks.
Do this so the user sees a pleasant error message rather than a
confusing stack trace.
Here is part of the program:
try
{
System.out.print("Enter the numerator: ");
num = scan.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the divisor : ");
div = scan.nextInt();
System.out.println( num + " / " + div + " is " + (num/div) + " rem " + (num%div) );
}
catch (ArithmeticException ex )
{
System.out.println("You can't divide " + num + " by " + div);
}
catch (Exception ex )
{
System.out.println("Something went wrong." );
}
System.out.println("Good-by" );
Now ArithmeticExceptions are caught in the first block,
and all other Exceptions in the other.

Where will a RunTimeException be caught?
