Answers for "what is the difference between declaring a variable final vs static final in java"

difference between static and final in java

The two really aren't similar. 
"STATIC" fields are fields that do not 
belong to any particular instance of a class.
and there is only one copy of the variable in memory
shared by all instances of the class.
On the other hand
"FINAL" The final keyword just means the value
can't be changed. Without final, any object can 
change the value of the variable
