Replied in X with:
“final” makes it a constant value. However, people in the Java community often refer to THESE_FINAL_STATIC ones as constants.

To make this even more confusing, there is a “compile time constant” which can be a local variable without the final modifier.

Sorry for asking here, I searched in your books and tried to find your email, but did not find that. I also sent you in X but did not get any reply.
Can you please confirm that Java constant must be static final, I men only final is not what we call constant right?
AFAIK, constant should be available without any instance of class is needed + its value shouldnt be changed + follow java code convention and named SNAKE_CASE then it is called constant.
The only final field is called only final, it is not called constant and should be named camelCase.
Am I correct?
Thanks in advance and sorry again for asking here.
