About static variable initialization

Here is an exercise where you have to guess the output :-)

publicclass MyClass{

privatestaticint x = getValue();

privatestaticint y = 5;

privatestaticint getValue(){

System.out.print("Running getValue ");

return y;

}

publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){

System.out.println(x);

}

}

This code outputs "Running getValue 0" I don't understand why?
