Static variable and static methods in java?

Answer:

The static modifier marks a variable or a method as a class member; Which means, the static element is shared across all instances of this class (all the objects that you create of this class).
In the case of static methods this feature don not let the use of instance variables, given that your method no longer belong to any instance.
