Puzzle in Java

Here am going to write a question as a puzzle, it is also very similar to the those questions you find in the SCJP (Sun Certified Java Programmer)  examination

public class LittleFuzzy {
	public int method(int x) {
		int val = x;
		try {
			return val;
		} finally {
			val = x + x;
		}
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		LittleFuzzy littleFuzzy = new LittleFuzzy();
		System.out.println(littleFuzzy.method(10));
	}
}
1

Review the program clearly and think what would be the output.

If I change this program a little bit then is output will change or not ?

public class LittleFuzzy {
	private int val;

	public int method(int x) {
		val = x;
		try {
			return val;
		} finally {
			val = x + x;
		}
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		LittleFuzzy littleFuzzy = new LittleFuzzy();
		System.out.println(littleFuzzy.method(10));
	}
}

The output will not change it will be the same. Because when you use the return key word it return the value at that time and it ignores the rest of the part of a method. Therefore the output will be 10 in both the cases.
