what does final keyword mean in java code example
Example 1: what it means when create final variable in java
First of all, final is a non-access modifier applicable only to
a variable, a method or a class
When a variable is declared with final keyword, its value can’t be modified,
essentially, a constant. This also means that you must initialize a
final variable. If the final variable is a reference, this means that
the variable cannot be re-bound to reference another object, but internal
state of the object pointed by that reference variable can be changed
i.e. you can add or remove elements from final array or final collection.
It is good practice to represent final variables in all uppercase, using
underscore to separate words.
Example 2: java final meaning
private final String hello = "Hello World!";
