final Variables
A final
variable, also called a “constant,” is a variable whose value you can’t change after it’s been initialized. For example, you might use a final
variable to define a constant value, such as pi. To declare a final
variable, you add the final
keyword to the variable declaration, like this:
static final int WEEKDAYS = 5;
Although it isn’t required, adding the static
keyword is common for final variables.
