static

Posted by senthil on May 11, 2001 at 10:07 AM

can a static variable can be invoked by an object of that class
eg. obj.staticvar;

i tried out this and it is happening , i dont know why is this happening since the static variable does not belong to that class,then how come the static variables can be invoked by and object of that class?
