static methods and variables in java code example

Example 1: static in java

//Java Program to get the cube of a given number using the static method  
using static before a method or variable we can access it by not creating a 
instance of it.in the program we directly used student.cube(5)
class Calculate{  
  static int cube(int x){  
  return x*x*x;  
  }  
  
  public static void main(String args[]){  
  int result=Calculate.cube(5);  
  System.out.println(result);  
  }  
}

Example 2: what is static methods and variables

The methods or variables defined as static are shared among all the objects 
of the class. The static is the part of the class and not of the object. 
The static variables are stored in the class area, and we do not need 
to create the object to access such variables. 
Therefore, static is used in the case, where we need to define 
variables or methods which are common to all the objects of the class.
For example, In the class simulating the collection of the students in 
a college, the nameof the college is the common attribute to all the students.
Therefore, the college name will be defined asstatic

Example 3: static data and static methods in java

class JavaExample{
   private static String str = "BeginnersBook";

   //Static class
   static class MyNestedClass{
	//non-static method
	public void disp() {

	   /* If you make the str variable of outer class
	    * non-static then you will get compilation error
	    * because: a nested static class cannot access non-
	    * static members of the outer class.
	    */
	   System.out.println(str); 
	}

   }
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
       /* To create instance of nested class we didn't need the outer
	* class instance but for a regular nested class you would need 
	* to create an instance of outer class first
        */
	JavaExample.MyNestedClass obj = new JavaExample.MyNestedClass();
	obj.disp();
   }
}
