Hello,

Am also newbie to programing languages but as i know little about it we can use the Static variable in C,C++ and also even in the C# and as well as Java language but for the static method we could use only in the C# and Java language.
And we could access the static variable in the other classes if they are not private accessible.

static member variables can be used without instantiating a class, same with static member functions. main is static, so no class has to be instantiated for it to be called.

static variables are used when only one copy of the variable is required.
Also in java there are no global variables hence static variables serve this purpose.
