Final Keyword In JavaThe final keyword in java is used to restrict the user. The java final keyword can be used in many context. Final can be:
The final keyword can be applied with the variables, a final variable that have no value it is called blank final variable or uninitialized final variable. It can be initialized in the constructor only. The blank final variable can be static also which will be initialized in the static block only. We will have detailed learning of these. Let's first learn the basics of final keyword. 1) Java final variableIf you make any variable as final, you cannot change the value of final variable(It will be constant). Example of final variableThere is a final variable speedlimit, we are going to change the value of this variable, but It can't be changed because final variable once assigned a value can never be changed. Test it NowOutput:Compile Time Error 2) Java final methodIf you make any method as final, you cannot override it. Example of final methodTest it NowOutput:Compile Time Error 3) Java final classIf you make any class as final, you cannot extend it. Example of final classTest it NowOutput:Compile Time Error Q) Is final method inherited?Ans) Yes, final method is inherited but you cannot override it. For Example: Test it NowOutput:running... Q) What is blank or uninitialized final variable?A final variable that is not initialized at the time of declaration is known as blank final variable. If you want to create a variable that is initialized at the time of creating object and once initialized may not be changed, it is useful. For example PAN CARD number of an employee. It can be initialized only in constructor. Example of blank final variableQue) Can we initialize blank final variable?Yes, but only in constructor. For example: Test it NowOutput: 70 static blank final variableA static final variable that is not initialized at the time of declaration is known as static blank final variable. It can be initialized only in static block. Example of static blank final variableQ) What is final parameter?If you declare any parameter as final, you cannot change the value of it. Test it NowOutput: Compile Time Error Q) Can we declare a constructor final?No, because constructor is never inherited. Next TopicRuntime Polymorphism in java |
