  • final – constant declaration.
  • finally – The finally block always executes when the try block exits, except System.exit(0) call. This ensures that the finally block is executed even if an unexpected exception occurs. But finally is useful for more than just exception handling — it allows the programmer to avoid having cleanup code accidentally bypassed by a return, continue, or break. Putting cleanup code in a finally block is always a good practice, even when no exceptions are anticipated.
  • finalize() – method helps in garbage collection. A method that is invoked before an object is discarded by the garbage collector, allowing it to clean up its state. Should not be used to release non-memory resources like file handles, sockets, database connections etc because Java has only a finite number of these resources and you do not know when the garbage collection is going to kick in to release these non-memory resources through the finalize() method.

In simple words::

final variables are unchangeable.
final classes are not subclassed.
final methods are not overriden.

finilize() to clean up memory resourses for object using finilize().

finally block is executed if exception thrown or not.

12. Select any language and now XAMPP page is open and it is working fine
13. Now go to installation folder (e.g. C:\xampp\htdocs) and create folder and deploy your web project in that folder (e.g. “Prince”)
14. Now you can access your web project in web browser by typing url http://localhost/Prince/

1. Install JDK
2. Download Ant Zip file.
3. UnZip in any folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Ant)
4. Right click on My Computer
5. Click on Properties
