Java class variable error?

public class class2 {
    static int number3 = 86;

    public static void Whale() {
        static int number4 = 86;

    }

}

why am I getting an error on line 5 and not on line # 2? Thank!

Because it Whale

is a method and you cannot define a static field inside a method. You can have a local one number4

like

public static void Whale() {
    int number4 = 86;

or a static

, for example



static int number4 = 86;
public static void Whale() {

Finally, the class names of the conventions must begin with an uppercase letter ( CamelCase

) and method names with a lowercase letter ( CamelCase

).

You need to understand that java does not support static local variables, unlike C / C ++. But in some cases, Closures can help you achieve your goal.

Try using some sources for Closures -
