static in a method

Hi,

public class Test{
public int aMethod()
{
static int i=0;
i++;
return i;
}
pblic static void main(String a[])
{
Test t=new Test();
t.aMethod();
int j=t.aMethod();
System.out.println(j);
}
}
What is the rong with this code.
please explain in brief.
Thanks.

Java does not support static variables inside methods like C and C++ do. Instead, you should make the variable a class or instance variable:
public class Test { // or non-static if you want to register it for instances only static int i = 0; public int aMethod() { i++; return i; } pblic static void main(String a[]) { Test t = new Test(); t.aMethod(); int j = t.aMethod(); System.out.println(j); } }

You can not mark local variable as static

Method-local variables( those declared inside a method) can't have the modifiers coderanch, private, protected, transient, syncronized, abstruct, strictfp, static. They can only have the modifier final.
