According to the Java Language Specification \[[JLS 2005|AA. Bibliography#JLS 05]\], sectionSection 12.4, "Initialization of Classes and Interfaces": |
Initialization of a class consists of executing its
staticinitializers and the initializers forstaticfields (class variables) declared in the class.

This statement asserts that the presence of a {{static}} field triggers the initialization of a class, however, in this example, a recursive attempt is being made to initialize the class already. Because such recursive attempts are ignored by the JVM, the default value of {{deposit}} is {{0}} during the initialization. \[[Bloch 2005|AA. Bibliography#Bloch 05]\]. |
Compliant Solution
This compliant solution changes the initialization order of the class Cycle so that the fields meant to be used in computations get duly initialized.
...
Initialization cycles may lead to unexpected results.
