what is a static block?..

Answer / ranganathkini

A static block or a static initializer is a block that
appears within a class definition but outside any member
definition with the keyword static ahead of it. Example:

class MyClass {
private static double myValue;
static {
myValue = Double.parseDouble( System.getProperty(
"version" ) );
}
}

It is mainly used to perform static construction i.e.
initialization of static variables (see above example). The
static initializer is executed when the class is loaded by
the JVM.
