Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers static variables and static methods in Java. It explains their association with the class itself, not individual objects. Examples using the Student
class demonstrate adding and using static members like grade boundaries and school name. The guide also shows how to access static members using the class name and dot operator (e.g., Student.setSchool()
).
