Yes. While it is sometimes considered bad style to override static methods, you can treat them like any non-static methods when it comes to inheritance topics.
Static java method is the same as a static variable. They belong to a class and not an object of that class. If a method needs to be in a class, but not tied to an object, then one uses static java.
Yes, it is possible to call a static method from a non-static method. However, it is not possible to call a non-static method from a static method without first having an instance to operate on.
You can not overwrite a static method in Java,and 'main' is a static method.so,you can't overwrite the 'main'.
It is uss to define class and method of pogrom's.
Shortly, you can not.Different approaches are however available.1. Put your non static method in different class. Then call it from your static content by first instantiating the class.2. Make a duplicate static method for your non static method and use from your static content.
Static is a keyword,when u execute a method in class file loaded, execute the first this method..
in java a method is said to be static if 'static 'keyword is used before the method name . foe ex.- static void show(){ ........ } this method has the following property-- 1. it can invoke only a static method. 2. it can't be reffered using keyword 'this','super'. 3.static method can access only a STATIC MEMBER VARIABLE or STATIC CLASS VARIABLE . 4. there should not be static & non static version of a nethod in a class . 5.static method can be used before the creation of d object of dt class.
Because, the main method is the starting point of the java program and if we need an object of that class even before the main can be invoked, it is not possible. Hence it is declared static so that the JVM Can acess the main method without having to instantiate that particular class
Yes you can overload the static method. But it should be avoided because memory to static methods are allocated at the time of class load.....so memory will be wasted if we don't use that methods. Whereas non-static method memory allocation depends on Object
we cannot use the staic keyword inside the method... But we can use the final keyword inside the method....
It depends on whether the member is a static variable or a static method of the class.A non-static member variable is an instance variable. That is, each instance of the class has its own independent set of instance variables.A static member variable is not associated with any one instance of the class, and exists even when there are no instances of the class. As with all static variables, it exists for the entire duration of the program.A non-static member method is an instance method, thus the method automatically inherits a this pointer.A static member method does not inherit a this pointer, but it does have private access to to the class. Thus specific instances can be passed to a static method if necessary.Static members can be thought of as being common to all instances of a class, rather than a specific instance, even though no instances are actually required in order to make use of them.
if some method is static, then you can not call that method through the oobject of that class. but the name of the class. let us see a example: class Test { int a; int b; static void show() { System.out.println("we are in show"); } } class Main { public static void main(String args[]) { Test t=new Test(); t.show();\\thiss is an erroraneous code. because, the method "show()" is static. Test.show();\\this is correct } Arnas Sinha
