How to use Keyword Static in Java Tutorial using NetBeans IDE

This tutorial is all about How to use Keyword Static in Java Tutorial using NetBeans IDE. In this tutorial you will learn how the keyword static. static members belong to the class instead of a specific instance. means that only one instance of a static field exists ^[1] even if you create a million instances of the class or you don’t create any. It will be shared by all instances.

Since static methods also do not belong to a specific instance, they can’t refer to instance members (how would you know which instance Hello class you want to refer to?). static members can only refer to static members. Instance members can, of course access static members.

So if you have a variable: private staticint i = 0; and you increment it ( i++ ) in one instance, the change will be reflected in all instances

. This tutorial uses NetBeans IDE. Please follow all the steps below to complete this tutorial.
