Zero Constant
Seen recently in the application I’m working on:
private final static int ZERO = 0;
Damn handy if you want to change ZERO to, say, 1 or 10000 everywhere.

And it’s been declared private, because another part of the application may declare another ZERO constant, with another value. And you definitely don’t want any confusion between those …

That’s true. We certainly wouldn’t want that! ;)
I think this was originally a BigDecimal changed into an int. Obviously, it does look silly now…
