static keyword ,means only one copy per class if u have a static block or static method it will run first then only other statements like constructor will run . it dosen't need an object to access its method .Though u can access it using object u can access it using class nameso using object is eliminated.

Hi,

i think static keyword makes the variable retain its value even after the end of the block.

static function can be used without instantiating it.

Static fields are created once per class, and all instances of the class see the same values for those fields. For non-static fields, each instance gets its own copy that it can manipulate independently of any other instance's copy.

Static menthods, variables or block is executed in the order they are written in the class while class is getting loaded. Static methods are variables can be invoked without creating an object of the class. There is only one instance of the variable in the JVM.

Static methods are variables can be invoked without creating an object of the class. There is only one instance of the variable in the JVM.this is for whole program only one copy will be used and sharable for all rthe object for this we can use memory  and we can invoke the static variable and static method with the only call name here no need of object createion
