Java Tip 5: Java constants

Create constants that have the benefits of <br> using the C preprocessor's facilities

By John D. Mitchell, JavaWorld.com, 04/01/96

Page 2 of 2

I've put all of these fun things together in a couple of simple Java applications. Constants (http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/javatip5/Constants.java) implements the interface and uses the constants directly while Constants2 (http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/javatip5/Constants2.java) uses fully qualified names to access the constants.

About the author

John D. Mitchell is yet another UC-Berkeley Computer Science graduate weaned on caffeine, sugar, and way too little sleep. He spent three years toiling on PDA software at Geoworks for stock that is actually worth more than wallpaper. He bailed out of his day job after the first public release of Java to develop applets and a Java compiler. He funds his Java addiction by writing compilers, Tcl/Tk, Perl, C++, and Java systems. His copious spare time is consumed by moderating the comp.lang.tcl.announce newsgroup and writing an awesome Java book.
