04 - Static Versus Non-static
In Java, the terms "static" and "non-static" refer to different aspects of class members (fields and methods). Understanding the distinction between static and non-static is crucial for designing effective and efficient object-oriented programs.
Static members are associated with the class itself and are shared among all instances, while non-static members are associated with individual instances of the class. The choice between static and non-static depends on the behavior or data's relationship with the class as a whole or with specific instances.
