Class Variables or Instances variables are variables that are declared inside a class and are available for the whole class. They are available for all instances of that class and are not specific to any method. Ex: public class Test { private String name = "Rocky"; } Here name is a class variable.

Transient variable can't be serialize. For example if a variable is declared as transient in a Serializable class and the class is written to an ObjectStream, the val ue of the variable can't be written to the stream instead when the class is retrieved from the ObjectStream the value of the variable becomes null
Everything is an object, and "typed" based on assignation. Your variable will be given a class when you declare it to be something, and the class will depend on what value you give the variable. It is always an object though, and its class may change if you change its value.
Static member variables are local to the class. That is, there is only one instance of a static member variable, regardless of how many objects are instantiated from the class. As such, they must be declared inside the class, and defined outside of the class.
An abstract base class may have member variables. Whether or not it actually needs member variables depends on the nature of the base class itself. If the variable is common to all derived classes, then it makes sense to place the variable in the base class. If some derived classes have no need of the variable, then it is better to derive an intermediate class with the variable, and to derive those classes that require that variable from the intermediate class, rather than directly from the abstract class.
