Private final

[evert123]

Hello people of OSBot,

I have a short question, if I set a variable in the private final part of the script like this:

    private final
    Position sellPoint = new Position (3209, 3216, 2);

And later change this, in this case, change it to position (2222, 2222, 2) for example, in a private boolean statement or private void.

1. Will this be possible because of the private part?

2. Will it be changed back to the original (3209, 3216, 2) at any point?

Hope to hear from you, and if you feel like it please leave a explanation so I can learn more from it.

Ok, I suggest you learn some basic java before you start scripting, shouldn't take you long and it will save you a lot of time.
 

As for your question:

 

private means that specific var or func is only accessible from the class where you declared it.

For example:

If you use:

private int year = 2017;

in your main class, you will NOT be able to access the var year from an other class.

 

As for the final keyword

Final is a keyword that is used to declare a var as a final var, which means you can't change it. (It is constant)

In order to change the sellPoint you will need to not declare it as a final.

For example:

this is OK

 private Position sellPoint = new Position (3209, 3216, 2);

sellPoint = new Position (0, 0, 0);

But this is NOT

 private final Position sellPoint = new Position (3209, 3216, 2);

sellPoint = new Position (0, 0, 0);

the keyword final means exactly what it sounds like, whatever value you declare that variable to is FINAL, it can not be changed later on in your code. Most IDEs give an error when you try to redefine a final variable anyway.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.
I will definitely start learning more about the basics of Java, but for now I don't have much time and I use this script as a puzzle that I'm aloud to play with whenever I made some real progress with my thesis.

I know this is not really efficient on my side and even less efficient on the communities side, but ill try to make up for it in the future.
