Modifier Keyword order in Java
access-modifiers, coding-style, java, syntax
Solution
In theory it does not matter if you say public static final or final static public, but if you follow the usual convention, other people will able to read your code more easily. Here is the preferred order:
[ public | protected | private ]
static
abstract
synchronized
[ transient | volatile ]
final
native
strictfp
[ int | long | String | class | enum | interface etc. ]
Problem
Every time I write a method in Java with more keywords than `public void`, every time I write it another way. Sometimes "`static public void`" sometimes "`public static void`" etc. What is the best order (best practices) for these keywords? [`abstract/static`] [`final`] [`synchronized`] [`public/private/protected`] [`result_type`]?
