Java static keyword
The document discusses the static keyword in Java. It explains that static members belong to the class rather than objects, and are loaded when the class is loaded. Static variables and methods can be accessed without creating an object. Constructors are used to initialize non-static variables when an object is created. Static blocks run when the class is loaded and can initialize static variables.

- 3. how objects arecreated? Basic Steps of how objects are created 1. Class is loaded by JVM 2. Static variable and methods are loaded and initialized and available for use 3. Constructor is called to instantiate the non static variables 4. Non static variables and methods are now available • As all the non static variable are available only after the constructor is called, there is a restriction on using non static variable in static methods.
- 4. what’s the useof static Keyword and Why? The static keyword is used when a member variable of a class has to be shared between all the instances of the class. All static variables and methods belong to the class and not to any instance of the class Why ? The static keyword in java is used for memory management mainly. Static keyword is used to save your time and typing .
- 5. Static and Non-static We can access static variables without creating an object of the class As they are already available at class loading time. We cannot use non static methods and variables without creating an object of the class as they are bound to the instance of the class. They are initialized by the constructor when we create the object using new operator.

- 7. Static Variables Thestatic variable can be used to refer the common property of all objects (that is not unique for each object). The static variable gets memory only once in class area at the time of class loading. Advantage of static variable :- It makes your program memory efficient (i.e. it saves memory).

- 9. Static Methods Astatic method belongs to the class rather than object of a class. A static method can be invoked without the need for creating an instance of a class. static method can access static data member and can change the value of it. Student9.java Calculate.java
- 10. Static Classes (OnlyNested Class) A Class can be made static only if it is a nested Class. The nested static class can be accessed without having an object of outer class. StClass.java
- 11. Static Blocks Staticblock is mostly used for changing the default values of static variables. This block gets executed when the class is loaded in the memory. A class can have multiple Static blocks, which will execute in the same sequence in which they have been written into the program. Stblocks.java Stblocks2.java
