Static constructor of a class is called only one time in a program. In this matter when a sub class is accessed then its static constructor is called only once in that program. Here it needs to be remembered that whenever a static constructor is executed the system checks any of its super class constructor has been executed or not. Now if the super class constructor has not been executed then the system will execute that first then the sub class constructor will be executed.


Here we have a program where we have defined a grand parent class with a static constructor method. We have implemented it with a specific functionality. Next we have created a parent class with having the same static constructor but we have implemented it differently. Similarly we have created a child class with having the same static constructor but we have implemented it more differently.
The naming convention will be class_constructor. 

Now in the start of selection we have instantiated the child class only. In the output we can get both the functions of grandparent class and parent class and also child class static constructor methods. The output will come with this order: Grand Parent->Parent->Child. Here the object of parent and child class need not to be created to view the output.

We have mentioned the previous program here and the constructor is class_constructor. There is no need to call method separately for static constructor. It is called automatically by instantiating.
