Does final variables occupy memory on a per-instance basis?
I have read other question-answers regarding final instance variables and i came to knew that non-static final instance variables are created in heap for every instance of the class but in java -the complete reference by herbert schildt it is said that : Variables declared as final do not occupy memory on a per-instance basis .thus, a final variable is
Variable might be assigned in loop?
I don’t know why the code is not compiling when final variable is initialized in loop and loop iterate only one time? Is Loop is somehow running more than one time and multiple assignments is done to variable x? Answer The compiler does not care how many times the code in the loop will be executed at run time. To

Change private static final field using Java reflection

How to handle a static final field initializer that throws checked exception
