Which code is faster, where the variable is static or is it passed in the method?

Question

Java

There are two codes... which one is faster?

class Main{
    static MyClass myClass;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        myClass = new MyClass();
        example();
    }
    static void example(){
        myClass.work();
        myClass.flex();
    }
}
//или же
class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MyClass  myClass = new MyClass();
        example(myClass);
    }
    static void example(MyClass myClass){
        myClass.work();
        myClass.flex();
    }
}

Answer 1

In theory, statics is faster. In practice, the difference is often not noticed, because even in more complicated cases, the compiler optimizes such cases.
But if you abuse static variables, then someday you will get slapped for it :D
