-> Points to remember :-


1. We cannot create static local variable
because main use of static variable is improve
share-ability but local variables have limited share-
ability thus it voilates the rule of static keyword
2. If we declare any variable in static
method, then it will be treated as local variable only
3. We cannot use instance variable inside
static method but we can use static variable inside
instance method

=> static block :-


-> A block created using static keyword is known
as static block
-> Static block is executed at the time of class
loading
