Are final variables optimized by the compiler?
Solution: This may depend on the specific compiler that you are using and any special parameters you pass to the compiler. Nevertheless, let’s take a look at what the Java 2 SDK compiler does with final boolean variables. Assume there is a program that we are trying to debug. Every so often we are displaying debug information using System.out.println() calls. After a while, this information can become cumbersome, so we specify a boolean variable that will allow us to turn off debugging output.
