Static/Non-Static Block

What is a Static Block:

• It is a block of code that runs once when the class is loaded into memory, without creating an object.
• Static block runs before main().

static{
//code}

What is a Non-Static Block:

• It is a block that runs whenever an object is created.
• It runs before the constructor.

{
//code
}

What is a Static Variable:

• A static variable is a class-level variable declared using the static keyword, shared by all objects of the class.
• We access it using ClassName.variableName
• Static variables are stored in the method area (class area).

class Student {
    static String school = "ABC School";
}

What is a Static Method in Java?

-A static method is a method that belongs to the class, not to objects.

• We can access it without creating an object.
