Scope of static variable and methods in Java

Question

I have some doubts about usage of static method in Java. I read many places static variables are instance independent so be comes global.

Answer 1

Static variables are "per class". So it doesn't matter if your static variable in this class has same name/type as some other.

It's global in the sense that no matter how many object of that class you have, if you have them use a static variable, they'll all be using one var.
