Answer / singh_prabhakar
its a misconception if u think tht static variable's values
are nt changed....it does....!!!
the keyword static only means tht this variable belongs to
the class ie every object tht uses this var is using the
only copy of it wch lies with the class......unlike the
instance variable where when accessed every object enjoys a
copy for itself...
in short --in a class thr's a - "static int k=0;" n class
has three objects -"ob1,ob2,ob3" n say all tends to
increment "+2" to the value of k...then @ end after being
accessed by aal three objects the final value of "k" wud be
"6" ..!!!

A variable which is declared with 'static' keyword called
"static variable" or "class variable". Because,when we
execute the java application JVM first search for the class
and it loads into the JVM's memory.Now, it open the class
and searches for static variables if JVM finds the static
variable in the class then JVM will allot memory for the
static variables in HEAP area.Memory for the static
variables will be allotted only once at the time of loading
the class, that means static variable is only one per the
class.Hence, we call static variable as class variable.
