40. Master the Java Static Keyword: Instance vs. Class Variables & Memory Efficiency

Описание: Have you typed public static void main hundreds of times without fully understanding why that "static" keyword is there? In this video, we pull back the curtain on one of the most fundamental concepts in Java programming to help you write cleaner, more efficient code.
In this lecture, you will learn:
• The "Blueprint" Analogy: Understand the difference between a Class (blueprint) and an Object (house) to grasp how memory works.
• The Memory Problem: See why using instance variables for common data (like a generic "Smartphone" name) wastes huge amounts of memory.
• The Static Solution: Learn how the static keyword transforms an instance variable into a "Class Variable," creating a single shared copy for all objects.
• Best Practices: Why you should access static variables via the Class Name (e.g., Mobile.name) rather than object references.
• The Main Method: Finally answer why main must be static—so the Java runtime can call it without creating an object first.
Whether you are preparing for a technical interview or just starting your "Hello World" journey, mastering the difference between unique data and shared data is essential.
