Instance variables vs class variables?

Question

can anyone explain this in very simple no more then 2 lines lol. im thinking that when static is used a instance of class var is now just a class var.?

Answer 1

instance variables are defined at instance level and can have a different value for each instance. static variables are defined at class level and share one value among the instances.

For example, if you have a class Person with instance variable name and static variable numberOfPeople, you can instantiate several people with different names and at the same timekeep track of the overall number of people.

Answer 2
