Java:What is Static Variable?

Important Notes about Static Variable:

** Class variables (Static Variables) are referenced by the class name itself, as in

test1.demo //Code is given below

** Static Variables are associated with the class, rather than with any object. So, every instance of the class shares a class variable /Static Variable, which is in one fixed location in memory. Any object can change the value of a class variable.

{

static int demo=0;

staticVariable()

{

demo++;

}

public static void main(String[] args)

{

staticVariable test1=new staticVariable();

System.out.println(“Value of demo in test1:”+test1.demo);

System.out.println(“***********************************” );

staticVariable test2=new staticVariable();

System.out.println(“Value of demo in test1:”+test1.demo);

System.out.println(“Value of demo in test2:”+test2.demo);

System.out.println();

}
