Modifiers:: Thursday, April 16, 2020 8:11 AM

This document discusses the non-access modifiers in Java, specifically the final modifier. It states that final can be applied to classes, methods, and variables. For variables, a final variable can only be assigned a value once and cannot be changed thereafter, making it behave like a constant. For methods, a final method is inherited but cannot be overridden in a subclass. For classes, a final class cannot be subclassed or inherited from. The document provides examples and notes on using final with variables, methods, and classes in Java.

final :
final is a keyword, it is a non-access modifier.
In java we can use final modifier for class, methods and
variables.

Note:
We cannot use final for constructor or initializers(static and
non-static blocks)

1. final variables :
A variable prefixed with final modifier is known as
final variable.
➢ Global final variable
➢ local final variable

Note:
We can assign a value to a final variable only once, it cannot
be replaced or modified.
Hence final variable behaves like a constant

Note:
➢ for global final variable, initializing the variable with the help
of initializers is mandatory else we get Compile Time Error.
