Appendix A (Jargon)
- F -
- field
- Things in the Java language which hold data, or hold
pointers to objects are called fields. Think of
fields as variables. Fields are containers for
things of a specific
type. Only things that are qualified to be
of this specific type are allowed to go into
the container.
There are four parts to a field declaration:
modifiers type fieldSpecifications ;
where:- modifiers are keywords like public, private, final, and static.
- type is a keyword for a Java primitive type, a primitive type suffixed with "[]" or a class identifier.
- fieldSpecifications is a list of comma separated field identifiers with optional initializers that looks like an assignment statements with the new field identifier as the LeftHandSide.
- punctuation - a semicolon to terminate the declaration.
