java - Final static can be changed? -

i wrote code trying change see happening.

in object class field,

static final string msg="here";

and in same object, in methot

public void givemessage(int no) {     system.out.println("look.");            system.out.println(msg); }

here gives "here" when call main. but

public void names(string[] names) {     string msg=" - ";     system.out.println(msg); }

here when call main gives -, not "here" final static. why did change , why there no compile error? or misunderstood java?

you using 2 different variables, class variable immutable (final) local 1 not, have same name not same.

if want verify this, put in main method myclassname.msg="-" , you'll see compiler complain.
