What are final classes in Java?
The final modifier for finalizing the implementations of classes, methods, and variables.
The main purpose of using a class being declared as final is to prevent the class from being subclassed. If a class is marked as final then no class can inherit any feature from the final class.
You cannot extend a final class. If you try it gives you a compile time error.
Example
final class Super { private int data = 30; } public class Sub extends Super{ public static void main(String args[]){ } }
Output
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: at newJavaExamples.Sub.main(Sub.java:9)
