Why is it called "static"? --NoToleranceForIntolerance (discuss • contribs) 06:02, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Because an object is considered as dynamic. So a field or a method associated to an object is dynamic. As opposed, a static field or method is associated to the class only. A static field has the same value/reference for all the objects as it is unique. Ftiercel (discuss • contribs) 16:53, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
