The final
keyword in Java is used to declare constants. It can be applied to variables, methods, and classes. When a variable is declared as final
, its value cannot be changed once it is initialized. When a method is declared final
, it cannot be overridden by subclasses. When a class is declared final
, it cannot be subclassed.
Here is a simple example demonstrating the use of the final
keyword:
// Example of using final keyword in Java
public class FinalExample {
// Final variable
final int MAX_VALUE = 100;
// Final method
final void display() {
System.out.println("This is a final method.");
}
}
class SubClass extends FinalExample {
// Attempting to override final method will cause a compilation error
/*
void display() {
System.out.println("Trying to override final method.");
}
*/
}
