Change value of static variable by method

Actually we have learned that static variable does not change its value and it is not possible to change the value of a static variable. But in this post you can learn an example in java on how to change the value of a static variable by using a method in java.

InitializeByMethod.java

package com.udhaya;

class StaticDemo {
        static String name;
public static void staticVariable() {
        name = name + " " + "kumar";
        System.out.println("Value of static variable after method calling"
                + name);
        }
}
public class InitializeByMethod {
public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Initial value of static variable"
                        + StaticDemo.name);
        StaticDemo.name = "udhaya";
        System.out.println("Value of static variable after initialization"
                        + StaticDemo.name);
        StaticDemo.staticVariable();
        }
}
