Message:

Static Variables

Posted by Rakesh.S on November 22, 2000 at 4:11 AM

In the following piece of code

Class Base{
int i;

Base(){
}

public static void main(String arr[]){
int y = 0;
Base b = new Base();
y = b.i;//Gives an error saying that a static function cannot refer a non-static variable.
}
}

But why does the statement Base b =new Base() doesn't give error eventhough the constructor Base() is not static.
