Although you are right on the first point - you can indeed declare a final variable and then assing a value to it, the question of the OP was around initialization vs. assignment. I see the first assignment to a final variable as an initialization, not an assignment. If we consider the question in those terms, you can't really assign a value to a final variable, you can only initialize it. >so final variables do get assigned No, they get initialized. -- 4ndre4 "The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense."
