Question

I was just studying about final data members and i thought what would be the difference final variables vs static final variables ??

---

I understand that a field that is both static and final has only one piece of storage, and final variable will have storages associated with every instance.

But even if i declare a variable only final, then it remains the same for all the objects as i need to initialize them in the program itself and not at the run time.

---

So, basically there is no difference between the two except for the memory related issue ??

No, non-static final members can be initialized in the constructor. They cannot be re-assigned after that.
