Java Error - Illegal Modifier for Parameter - Only final Permitted

Question

What\'s wrong with the below Code

public static void main(String[] args){
        public static final String Name = \"Robin Wilson\";
    }

Answer 1

as you are Declaring the String variable as public static final String Name = "Robin Wilson";

According to java rules, This String name is Local variable as you are declaring it in Main method. So only final is permitted here. you can define it as ** final String name="Robin Wilson";** in main method. for Local variables only final is permitted.

Answer 2

you can not use public static modifier for a local variable. Do any of the followings

public static void main(String[] args){
        final String Name = "Robin Wilson";
    }

or declare it as a member variable

public static final String Name = "Robin Wilson";

public static void main(String[] args){

 }

Remember that the final is the only modifer of the local variables
