### Answer by Arti Mishra

**“Static Variable”** Static variables are those variable which is **created with the help of static keyword** in a class and it is also called class variable. **It creates a single copy in the RAM** and **each object can share it**. Static variable **directly accesses by the help of class name** without using any objects.\
**How to Use it** **Syntax :** ClassName.VariableName; \
**For Example**class Test\
{ static int x=100; Test() { System.out.println(“Test Class Call...”); } } class Main { public static void main(String args[]) { Test obj=new Test();System.out.println(“Value of Static Variable : “+ Test.x); } } \
