Hi,

I know this is a case of suck-it-and see but I'd like a reference to the 
architectural performance description please. (I'm pretty bad at seeding 
Google)

if: -

int fred = -1;
try {
	fred = someMethod(String blah);
} catch (e) {};

Now before someMethod raised an exception it had set the designated and 
referenced RETURN value to say 1, what will the value of fred be?

Cheers Richard Maher

PS. Sorry again for the Java 101 question but too many beers for the 
SCJP and for some reason Google does not have an obvious answer.
