I have a class like so -

public class test {
   private static final DecimalFormat CLASS_DECIMAL_FORMAT = new
DecimalFormat("00");

   public CheckQuotationAction()
   {
     int testCounter = 1;
     DecimalFormat METHOD_DECIMAL_FORMAT = new DecimalFormat("00");

     System.out.println(CLASS_DECIMAL_FORMAT.format(testCounter));

     System.out.println(METHOD_DECIMAL_FORMAT.format(testCounter));
   }

Can anyone please explain why the first statement outputs "1" while
the 2nd outputs "01" - what the difference?

thanks in advance
