final variables in method

[Shiva Shankar]

Hi,

A method can have final and non-final variables in java.
1.Where these(final&non-final) variables are stored in JVM?
2.what is the life time of final variables of a method?
3.Can we access final variables of a method out side of that method, if so how? Give me example and detailed explanation.

Wating for your answers....

Hi shankar,

1A) In JVM Memory itself (in the HEAP)
2A) Method scope, if the method call or execution is finished then final variable is dead
3A) No you cannot, after all it is also a variable but which cannot be modified. we cannot access a local variable of a method from outside the method.

please find the example given below

publicclass FinalVariablesTest {
publicfinalint FINAL_INT=100;

publicvoid FinalVariableMethod()
{
finalint FINAL_INT1 =200;
System.out.println("Final Variable in Method:"+FINAL_INT1);

}
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args) {

FinalVariablesTest fvt = new FinalVariablesTest();
System.out.println("Final Variable of Class:"+fvt.FINAL_INT);
fvt.FinalVariableMethod();

}
}

Please let me know your questions

Thank You
