Introduction to Static Attributes in Java

Description

This lecture introduces the concept of static attributes in Java, explaining the difference between instance and static variables, the usage of the static modifier, and the implications of using static variables in a class. Through examples and comparisons, the instructor illustrates how static variables are shared among all instances of a class, providing common values across objects. The lecture also covers the reasons for using static variables, such as representing values common to all objects in a class. Additionally, it explores the implementation of constants using the final and static keywords, optimizing memory usage by declaring constants as static. By the end of the lecture, students will have a clear understanding of static attributes and their significance in object-oriented programming.
