Hi,
I have a doubt. Memory for static variable will be allotted at compile time. What if i write a class with 50000 static variables and compile that and never use that class. What about the memory allotted.Is it waste of memory?

The memory will be allotted when the class is *loaded* at runtime. A class that doesn't get used doesn't get loaded, so no, it wouldn't have any effect on memory consumption.
