What is static?

Rating:

In Java, a class member, i.e. a class variable or a class method, is normally accessed by every object of its class. However, a class member declared as static can be accessed before any object of its class is created.

The most common example of a static class member is the main() method, which is the starting point for the execution of a Java program.

The syntax for declaring a class member as static is given below:

static <data-type> <member-name>

Note: static is a keyword in Java.
