Final: Finalize

The document explains the differences between 'final', 'finally', and 'finalize()' in programming. 'Final' is a modifier that prevents class extension, method overriding, and variable reassignment. 'Finally' is a block used for cleanup in try-catch structures, while 'finalize()' is a method called by the garbage collector for object cleanup.

final
1. final is a modier applicable for classes, methods and variables.If a
class declared as final then we can't extend that class.
i.e we can't create child class for that class.

2. If a method declared as final then we can't override that method


in the child class.

3. If a variable declared as final then it will become constant and we


can't perform re-assignment for that variable.
finally
* finally is a block always associated with try
catch to maintain cleanup code.
try {
/ risky code…
}
{
catch(X e)
// Handling code
}

* finalize() is a method which is always invoked by
garbage collector just before destroying an object to
perform cleanup activities.
