About Question enthuware.ocajp.i.v7.2.1162 :

[jmagago]

Can the method "TestClass()" be final if the class is abstract??

if the class is extended, the method couldn't be extended, isn't??

Thanks in advance.

It is not necessary for an abstract class to have all its methods extensible. So it does make sense even if an abstract class has final methods.

constructor's can't be final though can they?

Constructors are never inherited. So final doesn't really apply to them. But yes, you can't even put final keyword for a constructor.

What irritates me here is that the answer 4 says "constructor", but there is no constructor. Final void TestClass has a return type. I thought there is no return type allowed for constructors? Or did I get something wrong here?

Did you read the explanation? That is exactly why this is a wrong option!

Thanks, guess I have to get used to the way these questions are constructed. I thought the modifiers synchronized, transient (native and volatile) were not on the 803 exam? Btw what means HTH? I really enjoy studying with your program - it's great!

These modifiers are not directly on the exam but covered in variable declaration. You should at least be aware of what they do.
Hope This Helps
