Difference between final, finally and finalize() November 8, 2006
Posted by Allu in JAVA.trackback
- final – constant declaration.
- finally – The finally block always executes when the try block exits, except System.exit(0) call. This ensures that the finally block is executed even if an unexpected exception occurs. But finally is useful for more than just exception handling — it allows the programmer to avoid having cleanup code accidentally bypassed by a return, continue, or break. Putting cleanup code in a finally block is always a good practice, even when no exceptions are anticipated.
- finalize() – method helps in garbage collection. A method that is invoked before an object is discarded by the garbage collector, allowing it to clean up its state. Should not be used to release non-memory resources like file handles, sockets, database connections etc because Java has only a finite number of these resources and you do not know when the garbage collection is going to kick in to release these non-memory resources through the finalize() method.

finally will not handle any exceptions.Exceptions are handled by catch block and can be reported with the help of “throws” keyword.Finally block is used to release resources irrespective of exceptions; as opening a resource is a costlier process the programmer must take necessary steps to release the resources which he has opened, this can be achieved with the help of finally.
what is enum and generics?
what u said is true but we write lines to release but it is not the only use … main thing about finally block is it will execute no matter what the exception is or not …what ever code u right in it … try writing divide by zero in try and catch and add two numbers in finally two numbers will be added ..
its true veda…please give some more example & usage…

Informative
tell me more about final
kindly explain me with some more examples
sir i have some more doubts in java will pls give me the answers for that.
and my questions are in java why we should always assign instance variables to local variables only
2.In java we can create an objects for only derived classes why/
you can create the object for base class also. It is possible for accessing the object inside the class. Because object is the instance of a class and it is not only belongs to only to derived class.

2)by creating objects in dervied class we can acess all features base classes thats we should create objects in dervied class otherwise we can”t acess all features……..
Are you saying we should never call the finalize() method in our program and that we should let the garbage collector decide when to freeup/collect unused resources?
Could you please provide some examples of where finalize() should be used and where it should not be?
Thanks

final is a keyword. its constant. it cant be changed from its
initiated value.
Finally() method used exception handling concept. finally () block will execute whether or not try block can be execute. Its used to close a file.
finalize is used when an object is just before deleted, it can be used in garbage collection.
i am a computer engineer..your description is very easy to have some knowledge..i am giving exam for java subject..please give me some information about difference between method overloading and method overriding..thank you..
hi,
could you please tell me in detail about final, finally, finalize.
Thanks

Hello webmaster
I would like to share with you a link to your site
write me here preonrelt@mail.ru
sir
could u say the exact meaning of final finally and finalize() method…which even the beginners can understand
After Reading the whole stuff I just thought to put it in other way, Lets forget about JAVA here.
Final : I wanted to have a dog and only the one I have seen named Tomy, never anyother of such kinds in my life. so its final.
Finaly : I am going for shopping, does not matter what I try and buy and what I can,t . Finaly after paying bill I should drop my Shoping Cart in the proper place.
Finalize: If some one trying to kill me , let me kill my all dogs first, because there is no one who can take care of them and they will be mistreated.
thanx…nice example to make concept clear
thnx Nice Example
super practical example,please do the same for all java concepts…..by your one of the unknown fan:-)
hilarious way to express ur thought man….GUD ONE …now got that!!!!
really great way of explaining
very nice sanjeev… 🙂
Nice One Sanjeev
sanjeev, dont get emotional!
Final is keyword use to prevent further inheritance of any class 😕
or in Sanjeev’s term final is key word to castrate the dog to stop further inheritance of character of that dog’s clan [ class ]
static and final both are constants , when we use static and whn we use final?
Hi ,
Let me clarify you that STATIC and FINAL are not both one at the same.
STATIC is a class level variable (which is not associated to any of the objects of a class)
Only one variable is maintained across all the objects of the class.
For example for evry student ,u maintain name,address,marks etc…. all these as object level varibles.
and when it is coming to the number of students in class make it as class varible (i.e., static)
Final is much same as constant in other languages .
Whose value will not get chaged at any point of time.
hope this will clarify you…
all the best….
Really nice info……………..
hi swetha
Static variables are initialized when the Class Loader loads the class and hence can be access in the static block declaration of the class without declaring an object. Whereas the final variable is only accessible after the declaration of an instance of an object.

hello
hallo bhawana garu what r udng pressent this radha
hi
hello, can anyone tell me what is an abstract class??
Abstract class is a class that can only be inherited. An abstract class can not have any base class. ie, it can not be inherited from a class.
I want examples for final,finally and finalize
what is object serilisation
thanks .. really very very thank you
thanks dudes

what is the difference between finalize and finalizer ?
haram khor salo kutta kamina MC,BC,LKB………etc
Final- it is a keyword and also a class where we can’t override its method in another class
Finally-finally is used for execute mandatory statement inside exception handling. in the program exception occurred or no, finally always executes except system.exit() statement.with try we can use finally no need of catch.
Finalize- it is a application program which executes under jvm. it is used for garbage collection means to remove unnecessary data by scan the memory
