Java Interview Guide : 200+ Interview Questions and Answers - Static variables and methods

The video tutorial explains static variables and methods, highlighting their class-level nature. Static variables are shared across all instances of a class, unlike instance variables which are unique to each object. The tutorial uses a Cricketer class example to demonstrate how static variables work. It also covers static methods, which can only access class-level variables, and emphasizes the importance of using class names to access static members. The video concludes with a summary and encourages viewers to experiment with examples to deepen their understanding.
