public protected private |
Optional: 0 or 1.
If public, the field is visible and settable everywhere, and
inherited by all subclasses. Otherwise, it is visible, settable, and inheritable only within the package. |
static | Optional: 0 or 1.
If static, the field belongs to the class (factory, recipe) and not to its instances. In this case, it is referenced as ClassName.fieldName rather than through its instances. |
final | Optional: 0 or 1.
If final, the field must be initialized at its creation time, and its value cannot later be changed. |
TypeName | Exactly 1.
May be a class or interface name, one of the eight Java primitive types, or an array type. |
fieldName | Exactly 1. |
= value | Optional: 0 or 1.
If present, value be an expression assignable to type TypeName. This is an initialization expression, and it makes this declaration into a definition. |
; | Exactly 1. |
