All About Programming: Blank Final in Java

A final variable in Java can be assigned a value only once, we can assign a value either in declaration or later.

    final int i = 10;      i = 30; // Error because i is final.

A blank final variable in Java is a final variable that is not initialized during declaration. Below is a simple example of blank final.

    // A simple blank final example       final int i;      i = 30;

How are values assigned to blank final members of objects?
