Line 165:

Since the address held in the <code>tableLookup</code> pointer can change implicitly, each deference might take us to a different ___location in a memory-mapped look-up table.

== Final ==

In [[Java]], a qualifer <code>final</code> states the variable is not assignable, as below:

final int i = 3;

i = 4; // this results in compiler-time error.

The variable with <code>final</code> must be initialized explicitly.

Unlike C++, a method with <code>final</code> merely means that the method would not be overriden.
