Absolutely! The
finalkeyword can be applied to just about anything, in each case meaning “you don’t get to change this anymore.”Here’s what it means when applied to…
a variable: You simply cannot assign the variable a new value (rendering it a constant, of course)
a method: You cannot re-implement (i.e., override) this method in a subclass
a class: You cannot define a subclass
In each case we’re simply indicating: once this thing is declared, this is the last value (or implementation) you’ll ever see for it.
