Variables of the super class can be accessed using the super keyword. Here is an example.
class A {
int a;
}
class B extends A {
int a;
public B() {
super.a = 5;
}
}
Variables cannot access variables; only methods can access variables. Non-static methods (also known as instance methods) are local to an object of the class and therefore have access to a "this" reference (referring to the current instance of the class, the object upon which the method was invoked), but static variables are local to the class itself. These variables are shared by all objects of the class and are therefore accessible to non-static methods. Static variable are also accessible to static methods and are therefore accessible even when no objects of the class exist.
Instance variableA variable, part of an Object. These might better be called perObject variables since each instantiated object of this class will have its own private copy of this variable. They are allocated when the object is allocated via new. Static methods may not access the instance variables of their class (or any other class for that matter), other that via some object reference, e.g. anObject.someField. Static methods may even access private instance variables in their class via some object reference.
Static methods may not access the instance variables of their class (or any other class for that matter), other that via some object reference, e.g. anObject.someField. Static methods may even access private instance variables in their class via some object reference.
Static functions are tied to a class, not to a particular object. A static function can only access static variables because it has no knowledge of member variables.
These are normal variables declared within a class that are attached to an object instance of a class.
Static is a keyword which is used to call the methods or variables without creation of that class object. It will directly calls the respective method and varialbles.
An instance variable is typically associated with an object instance of the class whereas class variable is not associated with any object instance. Static variables are referred to as class variables while non-static regular variables are called instance variables. Simply put, you will have as many instances of the instance variable as there are object instances. i.e., if there are 10 instances of an object, you will have 10 instances of that instance variable as well. But, there will be only one instance of the static or class variable. Instance variables are accessed as follows: objname.variableName; Class variables are accessed as follows: ClassName.variableName;
use of public access specifier iswe can access the class members(methods,variables) out side the class using class reference
A Class. It encapsulates its variables and methods into it.
structure variable can access the variable but class object can access the function also
In java we access static variables and static methods without creating objects. i.e.,we can access directly by using classname we can also access static variables and static methods by using objects which are created by using class where the static variables and static methods are available
Public, Private and Protected "keywards/ access modifiers" are used similarly as they are with variables. Protected variables, methods or class CAN ONLY be used by an inherited class.
