TOPIC:- FINAL KEYWORD

WHY WE USE FINAL KEYWORD?

• In java, the final keyword is used to restrict the


modification of variables , methods & classes in various
ways.
FINAL VARIABLES:-

• When a variable is declared as final , than it’s value cannot be changed


once it is initialized.
• We can say that the final keyword is works the same as a constant
keyword.
• Example:-
• final int MAX_SPEED = 120;
FINAL METHODS:-

• When a method is declared as final , it can be overridden by sub classes only.


• Example:-
class Parent {
public final void display(){
System.out.println("Display from Parent");
}
}
class Child extends Parent {
// public void display()
{

}
}
FINAL CLASSES:-

• When you declare a class as final, it cannot be subclassed.


• This is prevents other classes from inheriting from it, which can be
useful for security or when you want to maintain a strict class order.
• Example:-
final class String {
// ... String class implementation ...
}
// Trying to create a subclass of String will result in an error
// class MyString extends String { ... }
