final Keyword in Java-1

Final Keyword In Java-1

The final keyword in java is used to restrict the user. The final keyword can be used in many context.
Final can be:

    1.variable
    2.method
    3.class
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) final variable

If you make any variable as final, you cannot change the value of final variable(It will be constant).
Example of final variable

There 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.

    class Bike{ 
     final int speedlimit=90;//final variable 
     void run(){ 
      speedlimit=400; 
     } 
     public static void main(String args[]){ 
     Bike obj=new  Bike(); 
     obj.run(); 
     } 
    }//end of class 

Output:Compile Time Error

2) final method

If you make any method as final, you cannot override it.
Example of final method

    class Bike{ 
      final void run(){System.out.println("running");} 
    } 
        
    class Honda extends Bike{ 
       void run(){System.out.println("running safely with 100kmph");} 
        
       public static void main(String args[]){ 
       Honda honda= new Honda(); 
       honda.run(); 
       } 
    } 

Output:Compile Time Error

3) final class

If you make any class as final, you cannot extend it.
Example of final class

    final class Bike{} 
     
    class Honda extends Bike{ 
      void run(){System.out.println("running safely with 100kmph");} 
       
      public static void main(String args[]){ 
      Honda honda= new Honda(); 
      honda.run(); 
      } 
    } 

Output:Compile Time Error
