What is the use of finally clause? Use finally clause in the problem given in Question No. 7.

Question

Accepted Answer

> [!TLDR]
> The `finally` clause guarantees that a block of code runs no matter what happens in the `try`/`except`/`else` chain above it. Applied to Question 7's own program, its `finally: print(" JOB OVER... GO GET SOME REST")` block is what makes that final message print on every single run of the program.

## Understanding the `finally` clause

The `try` statement can have an optional `finally` clause. Statements written inside `finally` always execute, regardless of whether an exception occurred in the `try` block, and regardless of whether that exception was handled by an `except` clause. This is exactly why `finally` is commonly used for cleanup work — such as closing a file — that must happen no matter what.

If a `finally` clause is used, it must be the **last** clause of the `try` statement, after every `except` block and after the optional `else` clause.

## Question 7's program

Question 7 asks you to fill in the blanks of this program, and the correct blanks are `ValueError`, `ZeroDivisionError`, and `finally`:

```python
print(" Learning Exceptions...")
try:
    num1 = int(input("Enter the first number"))
    num2 = int(input("Enter the second number"))
    quotient = (num1/num2)
    print("Both the numbers entered were correct")
except ValueError:             # to enter only integers
    print(" Please enter only numbers")
except ZeroDivisionError:      # Denominator should not be zero
    print(" Number 2 should not be zero")
else:
    print(" Great .. you are a good programmer")
finally:                       # to be executed at the end
    print(" JOB OVER... GO GET SOME REST")
```

Question 9 asks specifically for the `finally` clause to be used *in this program* — which the fill-in-the-blanks answer to Question 7 already supplies as its third blank. The `finally` block is:

```python
finally:
    print(" JOB OVER... GO GET SOME REST")
```
