- A final class can’t be a base class
- A final method can’t be overridden
- A final variable is a constant.
- Generally you should avoid declaring final methods, though you think that a subclass wouldn’t need to override a method
- final methods execute a bit more efficiently than non-final methods, because the compiler knows at compile time that a call to a final method can’t be overridden.
- private methods are automatically considered as final
- Though it is not required, using a static keyword is common for all final variables.
