Static Object

[sm mishra]

Hi!
I have One doubt can anybody clear it
what is Static Object? What is the use of it

[Adrian Ferreira]

Sm,
It means that an entity is defined at compile time. So you can define static classes, methods and variables. As I know, you can�t have a static object because object is created during execution time. May be it is a miss with class and object terms.
If it is possible, I would like to know what "static object" means.

You can't create object of a static class. i.e you can't have an instance. For simplicity, let's take a static variable as an example.
public class example {
static int variable1 = 10;
}
In the memory it will retain its value till the end of the application. At some other point in code if you change
variable1 = 20;
then it will have a new value of 20 and it is retained. Moreover, you can access this variable example.variable1 and it doesn't need any instance.
Hope this helps..

static methods and variabls r different from other normal varialbes and methods.
To use the Normal variables and methods we have to take the instance of the class first , but static varialbes r different, they make their place at compile time in the memory stack.
Static variables r used when u want to have a variable common to all instances of an object.. GOT IT ?
if not , ask me again i'll give u some example
