Questions tagged [final]

final is a common keyword specifying that the reference declared as final cannot be modified once it is initialized. In Java the keyword final is roughly equivalent to const in C++. In C++ the final keyword allows you to declare a virtual method, override it N times and then mandate that 'this can no longer be overridden'.

Refer to how the final keyword is used in different programing languages
