java.lang.String, java.lang.Math are final classes.

final is a modifier which can be applied to a class or a method or a variable. final class can't be inherited,final method can't be overridden and final variable can't be changed.

finally is an exception handling code section which gets executed whether an exception is raised or not by the try block code segment.

finalize() is a method of Object class which will be executed by the JVM just before garbage collecting object to give a final chance for resource releasing activity.

We can not declare top level class as static, but only inner class can be declared static.
public class Test
{
static class InnerClass
{
public static void InnerMethod()
{ System.out.println("Static Inner Class!"); }
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Test.InnerClass.InnerMethod();
}
}
//output: Static Inner Class!

When a method needs to be accessed even before the creation of the object of the class then we should declare the method as static.

A static method should not refer to instance variables without creating an instance and cannot use "this" operator to refer the instance.
