Is there any difference between data members and instance variables in java ???

Answer 1

data members are the variables written within the specific method and can only be used in that method,where as the instance variables or global variables are declared before declaring a method and can be called and used anywhere in the program.

Answer 3

eg for instance variable:-
class ABC
{ int a;
int b;
void function ()
{

}
these are declared in class block...not in the method block.......
and for data members I am not clear in its definition.
