You create a static integer as an instance variable by declaring it in a class using a statement that consists of the privacy level, then the keywords "static" and "int", and finally, the name of the variable. For example:
public class TheAnswerIsHere {
public static int example = 0;
}
will define an int example with initial value 0. The variable is accessed through the statement TheAnswerIsHere.example.

A field is an attribute. A field may be a class's variable, an object's variable, an object's method's variable, or a parameter of a function. class bike{ static int bikes;int gear;int cadence; void create( int newGear, int newCadence ){bikes = bikes + 1;gear = newGear; cadence = newCadence;} int getSpeed(){int speed = gear*cadence*5*3.141;return speed;}} 'bikes' is a class's variable (class variable) (static field). 'gear' and 'cadence' could be an object's variables (instance variables) (non-static fields). 'speed' is an object's method's variable (local variable). 'newGear' and 'newCadence' are parameters of a function (parameters). Refer to related links section
It is, provided that the variable is also static or you're referencing the variable through an instance of you class. class MyClass { static int staticVariable; int memberVariable; public static void main(String[] args) { // This is legal. staticVariable = 10; // This is not legal. memberVariable = 10; // This is legal. MyClass mc = new MyClass(); mc.memberVariable = 10; } }
It depends on whether the member is a static variable or a static method of the class.A non-static member variable is an instance variable. That is, each instance of the class has its own independent set of instance variables.A static member variable is not associated with any one instance of the class, and exists even when there are no instances of the class. As with all static variables, it exists for the entire duration of the program.A non-static member method is an instance method, thus the method automatically inherits a this pointer.A static member method does not inherit a this pointer, but it does have private access to to the class. Thus specific instances can be passed to a static method if necessary.Static members can be thought of as being common to all instances of a class, rather than a specific instance, even though no instances are actually required in order to make use of them.
Static member variables of a class are variables that are local to the class within which they are declared. That is, each instance of the class (each object) shares the same common member variable. Changing that variable's value in one instance will change it for all instances. Contrast with a non-static member variable where each instance of the class has its own independent variable, scoped to the object itself (not the class of object).
hi friend.... Instance variable means with which you need to create an obeject in order to invoke any methods or variables defined in a class. For ex: class A { int a=10; public void inc() {return a++; } } To invoke a member A b=new A(); b.inc(); System.out.println(b.a); If incase of a static method you can directly call using class name itself. like : b=Math.sqrt(a);
