In this simple Java puzzle, we create two objects namely empA and empB.
We assigned the name Jack to the variable name of the object empA, and
assigned the name Emma to the variable name of the object empB.
What is the output of this program and why?
Java puzzle 5: Creating objects
Level: Normal
public class Employee { static String name; public static void main(String[] args) { Employee empA = new Employee(); Employee empB = new Employee(); empA.name = "Jack"; empB.name = "Emma"; System.out.print(empA.name); System.out.print(", "); System.out.print(empB.name); } }

Answer explanation
- The objects empA and empB are two different objects, but the variable name is static.
- A static member of a class could be a variable or a method and
it belongs only to the class unlike instance members which belong to the objects. - The last time we assigned the value of the static variable name to Emma.
That is why this program writes “Emma, Emma” to the standard output.
