Are local variables allowed to be declared as final? The compiler doesn't
complain about the following code:
class FinalTestApp {
public static void main (String args[]) {
final int x = 5;
x = 10;
System.out.println(x);
}
}
I expected that x would be a constant and its value would not be able to be
changed, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
