Static Keyword in Java

Static variable can be used to refer the common property of all objects.
Static variable gets memory only once in class area at the time of class loading. if any object changes the value of static variable, it will retain its value.
A static method can be invoked without the need for creating an instance of a class. Ex: className.staticMethod
Static method can only access static data member and can change the value of it.
The static method can not use non static data member or call non-static method directly.
