Is final method inherited in Java?

No, we cannot override a final method in Java.

The final modifier for finalizing the implementations of classes, methods, and variables.

We can declare a method as final, once you declare a method final it cannot be overridden. So, you cannot modify a final method from a sub class.

The main intention of making a method final would be that the content of the method should not be changed by any outsider.

Example

 class Demo{ public final void demoMethod(){ System.out.println("Hello"); } } public class Sample extends Demo{ public final void demoMethod(){ System.out.println("demo method"); } public static void main(String args[]){ Sample obj = new Sample(); obj.demoMethod(); } } 

Output

 C:\Sample>javac Sample.java Sample.java:8: error: demoMethod() in Sample cannot override demoMethod() in Demo public final void demoMethod(){ ^ overridden method is final 1 error
