Mastering Java 2026 – 400 Free Practice Questions to Pass the 'Thinking in Java' Exam

Blank finals in Java are variables that are declared with the "final" keyword, but without being initialized.

The other choices are incorrect because

B: Final variables can be initialized in the constructor, but that is not limited to blank finals. Any final variable can be initialized in the constructor.

C: Constants, by definition, cannot change their value. Therefore, this choice contradicts the concept of a final variable.

D: Static finals are variables that are initialized once and cannot be changed thereafter. This concept differs from that of blank finals, where the variable can never be initialized.
