 what is static keyword in java ??

and how does it work ??

static keyword is used for many purpose like saving memory 

when you declared static as a variable methods ,blocks etc 

then it will allocate in a memory in ones time in a memory when your class will load 

it will directly stored in a stack memory 

basically memory are devided into two parts i.e Heap memory and Stack memory inside RAM memory.

when you make your methods,variables as a static member then you don't have need to make a object 

of a class you can simply access your method as a class name 

not need to make object of a class then access 

example; if you declare your method as a instance  member

then you will need to make object of a class then you can access 

see : public  Myclass {

...............

..............

mymethod(){

..............

...............

}

}

Myclass obj =new Myclass();

obj.mymethod     //you are accesing mymethod  with the help of obj1

if you declared as a static member 

then you haven't need to make object of a class

you simply access with the name of 

class

like that  ex:  Myclass.obj  //you are  accessing mymethod with the name of  your class
