No. You have instance variables confused with local variables. >>A class variable is visible/usable to all methods within that class.

Is this a homework question? -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html - http://engrm.com/blogometer/rss.2.0.xml > hello, > what is difference between Class variables and Instance variables? Instance variables belong to the object instance. They're the fields of the object. Class variables belong to the class as a whole--they're static variables. I recommend Roedy's definitions here: http://mindprod.com/jgloss/instancevariable.html or if you're up to it the JLS definition here http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/typesValues.doc.html#28536 Cheers, Matt Humphrey matth@ivizNOSPAM.com http://www.iviz.com/ > what is difference between Class variables and Instance variables? you could be asking such beginner questions in comp.lang.java.help. See http://mindprod.com/gloss/instance.html and http://mindprod.com/jgloss/static.html > hello, > what is difference between Class variables and Instance variables?
