Question 1-1
In your own words, describe what distinguishes a
class variable from an instance variable. (I'm not asking about how you
distinguish them syntactically in Java --- I'm asking how their behavior
is different.)
Solution
A class variable is at a fixed location in memory. There can only
be one copy of it available at any time. An instance variable, on the
other hand, is associated with each individual instance of the
class.
