以下是類(靜態)和實例變量之間的顯著差異。

例子

public class VariableExample{
   int myVariable;
   static int data = 30;   
   public static void main(String args[]){
      VariableExample obj = new VariableExample();
            System.out.println("Value of instance variable: "+obj.myVariable);
      System.out.println("Value of static variable: "+VariableExample.data);
   }
}

輸出

Value of instance variable: 0
Value of static variable: 30
