It just says that one step of class initialization is assigning values to all its static fields, if there are no static fields, it does not need to assign anything.

hi all, please tell me why to use private static final in front of variable ? If the variable is final, its value will be constant in that class. So what is the need of static keyword because if the variable is static, it has only one instance throughout the class.... Please explain.

private static final

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
