When the class is loaded into the memory first of all the static block is executed.

static block executed before everything. it has no need of object to call.

The code in a static block is loaded/executed only once i.e. when the class is first initialized. A class can have any number of static blocks. Static block is not member of a class, they do not have a return statement and they cannot be called directly. Cannot contain this or super. They are primarily used to initialize static fields.

static blocks are loaded when the jvm loads the class for the first time........

Dear Readers,

To know when exactly static block gets loaded please see the example below

public class Test{

static{

//Do somthing

}

//do some declaration initalisation

//Do some methods

//Do some static methods

}

pulic class StatTest{

//1) when I say Test t = new test ==> static block get executed OR

//2) when I say Test.someStaticMethod(); ==>  static block get executed

//3) suppose the Test Class is extended by some other class and when we create a object of the sub class . the static block gets executed

}

Any body please correct me if I am wrong......

Thanks,

With love
