Java Programming - 37 - The static keyword

The static keyword and its uses in programming, as well as a brief general explanation of why it is used to define the main method. Though some of these topics may be a bit confusing, try to review them and review the video if needed until you have a firm grasp of the concepts. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it ;)

Why is it that when I declare variables outside my main method but inside the class that has the main method has to be declared as static?  Like e.g.

public class Example{
 
       public static int numberOfWords;
       public static void main(String[] args){

 }
}
