How are constants defined in Java?
In Java, constants can be defined using the keyword final. The syntax for defining constants is as follows:
final 数据类型 常量名 = 值;
“I have to study hard in order to pass the exam.”
“I need to study diligently to succeed in the exam.”
final int MAX_VALUE = 100;
final double PI = 3.1415926;
final String MESSAGE = "Hello, World!";
Please be mindful of the following points:
- Constant names are usually written in all capital letters, with words separated by underscores, to distinguish them from variables.
- Once a constant is assigned a value, that value cannot be changed, meaning the value of the constant is immutable.
- Constants must be initialized at the time of declaration, otherwise it will result in a compilation error.
- Constants can be defined anywhere within a class, but they are typically defined at the top of the class for easier organization.
