Question

How many copies of static and class variables are created when 10 objects are created of a class?

(a) 1, 10

(b) 10, 10

(c) 10, 1

(d) 1, 1

This question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

My question is based upon Access Control topic in section Classes and Methods of Java

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) 1, 10

The best I can explain: Only one copy of static variables are created when a class is loaded. Each object instantiated has its own copy of instance variables.
