Exercise 1 of 1
Visualize how static variables exist outside individual objects. Build a global user counter and see how it updates across the entire system.
User.totalCountThis variable belongs to the Class, not any specific object. It is shared across all instances.
Every time you run new User(), the shared static variable increments.
🌎 Static Variables: Think of them as "Global" to the class. They don't live in the individual objects; they live in a special memory area shared by everyone.
Practical exercises to master the concepts.
Create a User class with a static userCount that increments every time a new User is created.
