Types of Variables


Local Variables                                      Instance Variables                        Static Variables



·Local variable- A variable that is declared inside the method that is called local variable.


·Instance variable- A variable that declared the inside the class but outside the method that is called instance variable.


·Static variable-A static Variable is a special type of the variable that is shared by all objects from a class. Static variable are used to keep track of global information such as number of objects from a class


Example1:-

class Simple

{  

public static void main(String[] args)

{  

int a=10;  

int b=10;  

int c=a+b;  

System.out.println(c);  

}

}  



Example2:-


class A

{  

int data=50; //instance variable  

static int m=100; //static variable  

void method()

{  

int n=90;//local variable  

}  

}//end of class
