Why does the following code output the System.out.println("After the method call");? According to my book, the program should halt after the catch, and goes back to the main method to execute what's AFTER try and catch block.

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {

method();

System.out.println("After the method call");

}

catch (RuntimeException ex) {

System.out.println("RuntimeException in main");

}

catch (Exception ex) {

System.out.println("Exception in main");

}

}

static void method() throws Exception {

try {

String s ="abc";

System.out.println(s.charAt(3));

}

catch (RuntimeException ex) {

System.out.println("RuntimeException in method()");

}

catch (Exception ex) {

System.out.println("Exception in method()");

}

}

}

Output:

RuntimeException in method() After the method call
