26-Mar-2014Class variables are called static variables. There is only one occurrence of a class variable per JVM per class loader.When a class is loaded the class variables are initialized.
Instance variables are non-static and there is one occurrence of an instance variable in each class instance.Also known as a member variable or a field.
