Static keyword

Static members are those that belong to a class as a whole and not to a particular instance (object). A static member is initialized when the class is loaded. Similarly ,A  class can have static methods,static  variables and static methods are collectively called as "static members"
Static members in a class can be accessed either by using the class name or by using the object reference,but instance members can only be accessed via object references.

The static can be:

          variable (also known as class variable)

          method (also known as class method)

          block

          nested class
