The following code demonstrates the use of the static modifier:

  class Demo {
    var NonstaticVar : int;      // A non-static field belonging to a class instance.
    static var StaticVar : int;  // A static field belonging to the class.
  }

  // Initialize StaticVar. An instance of Demo is not needed.
  Demo.StaticVar = 42;

  // Create an instance of Demo class.
  var MyDemo : Demo = new Demo;
  MyDemo.NonstaticVar = 5;
  // The static field is not directly accessible from the class instance.

  print(MyDemo.NonstaticVar);
  print(Demo.StaticVar);
