Line 124: ===Blank final=== The '''blank final''', which was introduced in Java 1.1, is a final variable whose declaration lacks an initializer.<ref>{{cite book\|last=Flanagan\|first=David \|title=Java in a Nutshell\|url=http://web.deu.edu.tr/doc/oreily/java/javanut/ch05_06.htm\|edition=2nd\|date=May 1997 \|publisher=O'Reilly\|isbn=1-56592-262-X\|chapter=Chapter 5 Inner Classes and Other New Language Features:5.6 Other New Features of Java 1.1}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://~~java~~docs.~~sun~~oracle.com/~~docs~~javase/~~books~~specs/jls/~~second_edition~~se8/html/~~typesValues.doc~~jls-4.html#jls-4.12.4\|title=Chapter 4.

In order to do this, a Java compiler runs a flow analysis to ensure that, for every assignment to a blank final variable, the variable is definitely unassigned before the assignment; otherwise a compile-time error occurs.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/defAssign.doc.html\|title=Definite Assignment\|year=2000\|work=Java Language Specification\|publisher=Sun Microsystems, Inc.\|accessdate=23 July 2010}}</ref> ==C/C++ analog of final variables==
