    Question Const vs Final Variable

    I have searched and see that Java doesn't have constant. But, a "final variable" cannot change its value, so does it equivalent with const ?
    thanks :)

    Default Re: Const vs Final Variable

    Final primitive types cannot have their values changed throughout the execution of the program. final objects cannot be reassigned to another object. final classes cannot be subclassed and final methods cannot be overridden by subclasses.

    The const in Java is just a reserved keyword.
