How did you come arrive at this question.............
I've never heard anything about static local variable

[Aurelian Tutuianu]

This is a C question, not a Java one.
In Java the state is carried out by class instances. So you end up with static member variables.

[Ken Truitt]

public class Statics {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new Statics().myMeth();
  }
  void myMeth() {
    static int x = 7;
    System.out.println("x is " + x);
  }
}

compile error--illegal start of expression 'static int...'

[Campbell Ritchie]

There is no such thing as a static local variable in Java; as Ken Truitt has shown, you mustn't even use the static keyword inside a method.

[Rob Spoor]

In C this was necessary to not completely polute the global namespace. In Java, classes already split up the namespace, so a static field will work just fine.

[Campbell Ritchie]

And the static keyword in Java means something different from the static keyword in C.
