Method with final keyword
I have following method (example).

Code:
public static final String getString(){ return "Welcome"; }
What does final keyword represent here?
I am able to call this and it works fine. How does final makes this special.

The old tutorial had a section in it on "Final Methods" that appears to have been omitted in the new tutorial.
Basically, it means that you cannot override the method.
