Different styles of flow of program?

Programmer Question

Hi people,

I am a computer science student therefore I do not know that much.

I was recently talking with a friend who just got a job as a (java) software developer. He told me that in his job there is a guy who is really experienced in C++, but unfortunately every time he writes code in java, he is using the try-catch to control the flow of the program. According to my friend this is a wrong style in Java. Is this true? What are the differences (if any) in using try-catch(-finally in java) between C++ and Java?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
