As far as i know, they both allocated the same way, the difference is that, when you declare it in final, you cannot change the values you've just initialize, unless you terminate the program and edit the values from it before compiling again...

Correct me if im wrong,

I hope you intended to write:

[code=java]
byte b= 2;
// versus
final byte b= 2;
[/code]

For the final version the compiler tries to treat it as a constant value and it won't
even allocate storage for it, i.e. a 2 literal constant will be used whereever 'b'
is mentioned.

kind regards,
