Does finally block executes when try block has a return statement in Java?

You know finally block is useful for preventing resource leaks.

Look at the below code, may be interesting for you if you didn't tried yet.

package com.j4b.samples;

public class FinallyReturn {
	
	@SuppressWarnings("finally")
	public static String display(String hi){
		try{
			System.out.println("Hello");
			return hi;
		}
		finally{
			System.out.println("in finally");
			return "Hello dude";
		}
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String str = display("Hi Praveen");
		System.out.println("str : "+str);
	}
}

output:
Hello
in finally
str : Hello dude

Now try to give System.exit(0); before return hi; statement at line 9.
now run the sample code and check the output.
