What is the difference between static and public in java ??

Answer 1

They are completely different.

public is an access modifier that indicates that a function or variable can be accessed outside the class.

static is a non-access modifier that indicates that a function or variable belongs to the class and not the object.

Example:

public class Foo {
public int a = 9;
public static int b = 10;
}

Foo bar = new Foo();
bar.a; //Works because a is public
Foo.a; //Does not work. a belongs to the object not the class
Foo.b; //Works because b is static
