java: is using a final static int = 1 better than just a normal 1?
<p>I just saw a class (an big API module), where there is alot of stuff like</p>

<pre><code>readParamString(Object params, int index)
</code></pre>

<p>and they have in that class 10 fields</p>

<pre><code>final static int PARAM1 = 1
...
final static int PARAM10 = 10
</code></pre>

<p>which are being used with readParam functions</p>

<p>but you can also use a normal int like <code>readParamString(o, 1);</code></p>

<p>is final static int somehow better than using a normal int ?</p>
