when a method doesnot act on instance variables but act only on local variables ,it is cald static method.
JVM executes static blocks initially and den executes objects.
we can also execute static method without main method.
static variables are stored on method area.

Hi

Static is like the global variable,where it is given the single memory location
what ever the updations u do in the complete program those will be reflected to it.

well abt static methods we can call the methods with the class name,with out the instance of the class.
