Can a "this" keyword be used to refer to static members in Java?
No, the "this" keyword cannot be used to refer to the static members of a class. This is because the “this” keyword points to the current object of the class and the static member does not need any object to be called. The static member of a class can be accessed directly without creating an object in Java.
Example
public class StaticTest { static int a = 50; static int b; static void show() { System.out.println("Inside the show() method"); b = a + 5; } public static void main(String[] args) { show(); System.out.println("The value of a is: " + a); System.out.println("The value of b is: " + b); } }
Output
Inside the show() method The value of a is: 50 The value of b is: 55
