increments by 1 and add it with every created object? [closed]

Answer 1

Since instanceCounter is a static variable, all objects share the same variable. Since you are incrementing the instanceCounter during each object construction, at the end of creating 5 objects, its value is 5. Consequently you get the output as 5 in all your sys outs. Thats the point of static

EDIT
To achieve what you need, do the following:

class MyObject  {

    static int instanceCounter = 0;

    int counter = 0;

    MyObject() 
    {
        instanceCounter++;
        counter = instanceCounter;
    }

}
