Final members can be instantiated either at the time of declaration

or

it can  be instantiated in the constuctor of the class.

for ex.

      class a {

      // public final int i = 3; or

         public final int i;

          a(int j){

            this.i =  j;

          }

      }

if you dont initialize it  will give compilation error.

The other way of instantiating final member is on method argument (Just in case we do not want the value to be changed within the method,

ex

void Check(final String a){
  
}
