Should a private final field be static too?

Question

I was wondering, if I have this field in my class : private final int foo = ..., should I put it in static private static final int foo = ...? Beca

Answer 1

if you initiate its value in the constructor then it should not be static like

private final int foo;

public MyClass(int m){
    foo=m;
}

because its value depends on entry value.

but if you initiate its value inline like

private final int foo = 100;

then its preferred to be static to have just one instance of it, since the final field will be created on each instance of class; but static will be created once.
