In Swift, a class marked as final cannot be subclassed, meaning no other class can inherit from it. However, the access level of the class and its methods can still be controlled independently. You can have a final class with public methods, which means that while the class itself cannot be subclassed, its methods can be accessed from any module if they are marked as public.
