Dude, it's impressive how extremely clear you are in how you teach. Seriously, i don't know if there's any second in this tutorial (and all others) that could've been done better. Impressive

[@5n2joelemmanuel54]

man you are amazing. i watched about 10 of your videos and understood each one of them. you are an amazing teacher john. have the utmost respect for you

[@gabrielfono844]

I dont know for some reasons, anytime I have issues , I just jump on your youtube channel and found a perfect solution. sir , I love what you are doing. love from herndon virginia

[@dname1802]

The great thing about these videos, it's not just the 'how to', but also give a real example from your experience. It helps so much to make sense. Thank you so much :)

[@ralu0filth]

Dude, you have a video for every question I have! Love it! Thank you, it really helps! Keep it up!

[@preethimarineni]

I really admire the way you define , explain tings . I feel it will be more good to ask questions at the end of explaining which helps to think more.

[@snsnsn3]

The way you explain the ideas behind the scenes really makes it tangible. Thanks :)

[@francksgenlecroyant]

I wish KZbin could make it possible to give a video a like any number of times i want. John is a Hero! Thanks John!

why do i love this guy !!! omg!!

[@burgerbob7324]

Your channel is awesome, every video i've seen so far is succinct. This is the perfect way to refresh on Java concepts without having to waste time digging through my old courses or forums.

[@sarahmahyoub5241]

I always wondered why we need to use static with final when it comes to methods. now i know! Amazing job! Subscribed already and i do that rarely!

[@Rateebhatt]

Hey can u explain why

[@Clean_Slate]

Excellent video! Thanks for making concepts like that easy to understand while keeping the video short. I really hope your channel grows big, since I believe it deserves a lot more subs! Cheers 🍺

[@jvsnyc]

Great video. Sometimes it is reasonable to have a final instance variable, which can be initialized in its definition or in the constructor or an init block, but not later. Not as common as the examples you gave, tho.

[@D_Elchapo]

[@CodingWithJohn]

[@hangyeollee-creuset5108]

Thank you for your awesome video ! I am so glad that I found you on KZbin. I noticed that my IDE asks me to create constructors if I have final variables in the class. Ex) public class Example { private final String examples; Then I am obligated to create a constructor. But when I have just private variables in the class. IDE doesn't bother me if I create a constructor of this class or not. Is this because final variables meant to be only assigned once, this is why IDE obligates me to create a constructor of it's class ? Thank you for taking time to read my comment and have a nice day

[@CodingWithJohn]

Interesting question - in this case you aren't necessarily obligated to create a constructor (although much of the time this is probably what you want to do), but you are obligated to assign a value to this variable in a way that the compiler knows can only happen once, since it's final. That means you can initialize it inside of a constructor, like you're saying, with something like this: public Example (String examples) { this.examples= examples; } Or you can just initialize it right where you declare it: private final String examples = "this is the value"; These are really the only places that the compiler is able to guarantee that it's only going to be set once, so I think that's why you'll see this error. For example, if you were allowed to set this value inside some other method in your class, like: private void doStuff(){ this.example = "setting this value"; } Nothing would prevent this method from being called twice, breaking the rule that a final variable could only be set once. Even if you put it in the main() method, technically that method can be called from anywhere else in your code or even recursively (although it's really weird to do that and generally you probably shouldn't), so you still have the same potential problem.

[@farzadarian5993]

I ❤ the way you teach

[@rajeshg3570]

Awesome explanation.. I've a question here..in some places I've seen final parameters in a method signature. Any specific advantage for that? My guess is , if you have a final parameter in your method signature, then it won't let you assign a value inside the method body. Is that correct ?

[@CodingWithJohn]

Exactly right! It's a good way to guarantee that the parameter won't be reassigned throughout the execution of the method.

[@andreassumerauer5028]

@@CodingWithJohn That is correct but the practise also does not make much sense IMO. While you can assign a new value to a non final parameter inside the function this will never change the variable value on the caller side outside the scope of that function. Given that the only justification for using final on a parameter is to make sure that a rookie programmer does not think he can return a value change in one of the parameters by reusing that parameter. Changing parameter values is considered bad coding style by some. To me it isn't an annoyance because I am well aware that reusing a parameter has no side effects outside the function.

[@showmealldblueprints]

Hey John. In the case you use final in the PI variable, why would you use the static keyword too? If you can't reference anywhere else.

[@adipurnomo5683]

Static in variabel mean it can call without create instance class

[@mrboss8790]

Woah! this helped me!

[@homelylad]

Didn't u have to use override when you first implemented the method eat within the dog class ?

[@SkyyySi]

You actually SHOULD mark your classes final by default. If your class is final, you are free to unlock inheritance later on, since, before that, nothing could inherit from your class, thus all the implementation details are completely secret to consumers off it. If your class is already non-final, making it final is a backwards incompatible change.

[@vedd2603]

Could you explain constructors and this operator, private variables inside class how does a programmer understand those it's like they're in different world from me

[@CodingWithJohn]

Constructors cannot be made final in Java, it is not allowed (wouldn't make much sense if it was allowed). I'm not sure what exactly you're asking with your other question, but I'll attempt to answer it anyway; Private variables are only visible to the class they are declared in, so you can't read or modify them from any other class. They are declared outside of any method (like PI variable we declared in this video). They can be static (not tied to any particular instance/object of the class) or non-static (each instance of the class has its own version of that variable).

Have you done how to access private variable? In c++ we use a function to form like a bridge so to speak How do you do this in java

What is the difference between static method and final method because it is not possible to override both?

[@yami3251]

new subscriber here👋

[@ananthakrishnanvs4543]

I have a doubt While writing a class i am intializing a private final double pi = 3.14; and when each time i am creating an instance for that class it creates memory for that variable each time why should that be done, because it is a constant keep in mind it is not declared as static

[@altamashsabri8142]

Thanks a lot

[@FreshThanatos]

Just as question. The getter and setter methods could be allways final because I would like them to allways do the same right? But that would not be good practise? Or why arent they allways final when automaticly generated or why arent they allways final if people make examples? Just to safe space?

[@CodingWithJohn]

I could imagine a scenario where a subclass might want to implement a version of a getter or setter with other effects, so they don't have to be final by default. But if you don't want subclasses to be able to do that, final would lock that down.

[@FreshThanatos]

[@starlinetor5791]

so in practice final is just to prevent yourself from making mistakes laters

[@alinadeem8947]

Someone can still remove the final keyword from Pi and overwrite it isnt it? WHats the point here just trying to understand

[@mr.dingleberry4882]

Its to prevent accidental reassignment. If someone goes out of their way to edit out the final keyword, then that was very much not accidental.

I just found your LinkedIn, 3.95 GPA... This man fucks! What's your advice for CS students trying to achieve a high GPA? Also how important would say GPA is when applying for your first full-time position? I'm going into my sophomore year with a 3.8 GPA.

[@CodingWithJohn]

Yeesh, guess I might be easier to find than I thought..... A good GPA is nice to have and might break a tie with another job candidate but it's not the be-all-end-all. If it's real bad you'll probably have a tough time finding a first gig, but after that no one will ask. As for getting a high GPA - don't take Russian Literature. Start your programming assignments early. Computer lab time with other students and tutors can help at lot and you'll absorb a ton watching how other people do things, and is usually just more fun than staying in your room anyway.
