Learn Java's final, finally, and finalize in 5 minutes!

Many Java programmers and Java students find the terms final, finally, and finalize confusing. These 3 Java terms look the same, but do different things! This video clears up the confusion by explaining final, finally, and finalize in Java through clear code examples and use cases.

Finalize is a deprecated method in the object class that used to be called when objects were garbage collected. Finally is used at the end of the try-catch block to make sure certain actions always happen regardless of exceptions. It has mostly been superseded by the try-with-resources statement. Final is a Java keyword used in three different ways: to make variables immutable, to make extending a class impossible, and to prevent overriding a method.

This video is ideal for:
• High school or college students learning Java
• AP CSA exam prep
• Self-taught programmers who want a solid understanding of final, finally, and finalize in Java
