In what order do static/instance initializer blocks in Java run?

Question

Say a project contains several classes, each of which has a static initializer block. In what order do those blocks run? I know that within a class, such blocks are run in

Answer 1

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/initial.html

kindly check java documentation.

then clearly mentioned no matter how may static blocks are there they will be executed as a single block in the order they appear

So,

My understanding here is java is looking your code as

static{
i=1;
i=2;
}

static int i;

that is why you are getting output 2

hope this is helpful
