java

Hello ,
I went through local variables and class variables concept.

But I had stuck at a doubt
" Why is it so that we cannot declare local variables as static " ?

For e.g
Suppose we have a play( ) function :

void play( )
{
static int i=5;
System.out.println(i);
}

It gives me error in eclipse : Illegal modifier for parameter i;

Thanks.
