Q1. Will the static block be executed in the following code ? Why ?

class Test

static
{
System.out.println("Why I am not executing ");

Ans. No the static block won't get executed as the referenced variable in the Test class is final. Compiler replaces the content of the final variable within Demo.main method and hence actually no reference to Test class is made.
