The `finally` block, when used with `try...catch`, always executes regardless of whether an exception was thrown or caught. It's typically used for cleanup operations like closing files, releasing resources, or performing actions that must happen no matter what. It executes even if a `return`, `break`, or `continue` statement is encountered within the `try` or `catch` blocks.
