Static vs Instance Variables

Question

Develop code to declare the class variables that belong to the class.
Consider this partial class definition:

```java
public class BankAccount {
    private double balance;
    private static double interestRate;
    private static int nextAccountNumber = 1000;
    
    // constructor and methods not shown
}
```

Which statement about these variable declarations is correct?

Accepted Answer

interestRate and nextAccountNumber are shared by all BankAccount objects, while balance is unique to each object

Answer

All three variables are accessible from static methods without creating an object instance

Answer

nextAccountNumber should be declared as an instance variable since each account needs a unique number

Answer

balance and interestRate are instance variables, while nextAccountNumber is a class variable
