What is the meaning of "java static"?

Question

Static in java

Answer 1

• Static or class fields belong to a class, not to an object

class Point{
    double x;
    double y;
    static double xorigin = 0.0;
    static double yorigin = 0.0;
}

System.out.println(
    "The origin is at ("+
      Point.xorigin +", "+
      Point.yorigin +")" );

You access class variables with the name of the class rather than a reference variable.

Answer 2

Variables and methods marked 'static' belong to the class, rather than to any particular instance. In fact, you can use a 'static' method or variable without having any instances of that class at all. You need only have the class available to be able to invoke a 'static' method or access a 'static' variable. 'static' variables, too, can be accessed without having an instance of a class. But if there are instances, a 'static' variable of a class will be shared by all instances of that class; there is only one copy.
