class member definition in java

Question

I recently encountered this phrase:

"Class A has class member int a"

Probably obvious but this sentence just means a is an int defined in class A, right?

And another thing, for example a is defined under a method in class A. is it still a class member?
I haven't found a clear definition of class member, I looked here: but it wasn't very helpful.

Thank's in advance for the help

Answer 1

Class member is another way of calling static members.

class A {
    int a; //instance variable
    static int b; //class variable
    public void c() {
        int d; //local variable
    }
}

Answer 2

In same docs

Fields that have the static modifier in their declaration are called static fields or class variables

Class variables are referenced by the class name itself, as in

Bicycle.numberOfBicycles

This makes it clear that they are class variables.
