Editing Java syntax (section)

=====Modifiers=====
* '''<code>abstract</code>''' - [[Abstract method]]s can be present only in [[abstract class]]es, such methods have no body and must be overridden in a subclass unless it is abstract itself.
* '''<code>static</code>''' - Makes the method static and accessible without creation of a class instance. However static methods cannot access non-static members in the same class.
* '''<code>final</code>''' - Declares that the method cannot be overridden in a subclass.
* '''<code>native</code>''' - Indicates that this method is implemented through [[JNI]] in platform-dependent code. Actual implementation happens outside Java code, and such methods have no body.
* '''<code>strictfp</code>''' - Declares strict conformance to [[IEEE 754]] in carrying out floating-point operations.
* '''<code>synchronized</code>''' - Declares that a thread executing this method must acquire monitor. For <code>synchronized</code> methods the monitor is the class instance or <code>java.lang.Class</code> if the method is static.
* Access modifiers - Identical to those used with classes.
