In TypeScript (as in other programming languages), the finally block of a try-catch statement is always executed, regardless of whether an error is thrown or not. However, the finally block is not executed if the catch block throws an error and that error is not handled.
Here’s an example to illustrate this:
try {
// some code that may throw an error
} catch (error) {
// handle the error
throw new Error("Something went wrong!");
} finally {
console.log("This will always be executed.");
}
In this example, if the code in the try block throws an error, the error will be caught in the catch block, which then throws a new error. Because this new error is not caught, the finally block will not be executed. However, if the code in the try block does not throw an error, the catch block will not be executed, but the finally block will still be executed.
In summary, the finally block of a try-catch statement is always executed unless the program is terminated before it can be reached (for example, if the program crashes or the process is killed).
