How about letting us know your thoughts first after you've reviewed Google and tutorials. So, what do you think?

Best of luck!

Automatic variables are also known as local variables ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_variable)


Class variable and static variables are the same.

Please correct me incase am wrong.

The term "automatic variable" comes from C and C++ and is not commonly used in Java.

Sun's tutorial about variables tells you everything about different kinds of variables.

See if this helps:

1. Instance Variables (A variable defined in a class and could be visible outside the scope of the class too- also called Class variable, can be static, final, private, public transient, volatile)
2. Local variables (When the scope of the variable is limited to a method and is not available outside, only possible access modifier is final)
