Static variables:
There is only one copy of static variable and even
when the class is instatiated, the value remains the same.
Non-static variables:
Every time the class is instatiated, the objest has
their own copy of these variables.

Answer / sandhya reddy
Static Variables are loading when class is loading to the JVM.
Non-Static Variables are loading only when an object is
creating for the particular class.Non- Static variables
can't use inside Static Methods untill and unless creating
an object of that class.with the object reference only we
can asle to use Non-static variables inside Static methods,
But inside Non-Static methods we able to use static
variables without creating any object.

Answer / santosh mundhe
Static:1)Memory allocated before creation of object.
2)Gets memory on Global segment.
3)Object can't get copy of static variable, each
object shears static variable from global segment.
4)Static variables are not part ob object.
Non-static:
1)Gets memory on satck segment.
2)Object gets copy of non static variable.
3)Non static variables are part of object.
