Most java books do explain these a static method is a method that cannot be overriden. once defined in class sub classes cannot redefine the method. a stativ variable is a variable that cannot be reassigned a new value eg private static int i=0; creates a variable that is initalied to 0 any attemps to assign another value to i will result in an error. besides static variables belong to the class not instances of the class. any java text will give explanations to these as well as examples Good luck in your studies Robert wrote: > Hi, > I'm a first year IT student, I need to find out > > A) What is a Static Method > > b) What is a Static Variable > > or if u know where i could find the information. > Thanks for ur help. > > Cheers > > Robert
