#skind[Classes and methods implemented in the program]

- `StaticExample` class:
  The class being used to demonstrate the order of execution of static block.
  - `static int getObjectCount()`: Returns the object count of this class.
  - Constructor `StaticExample()`: Shows a message first time it is called, i.e. when the first object is created. Increments the object count static variable.
- `StaticExecution` class contains the main method of the program.
  - `public static void main(String[])`: Creates a random number of objects of the `StaticExample` class and shows the number of objects created.
