Just create two methods with the same name, but with different types or numbers of parameters.
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
Represents the current object (not usable in static methods).
In java we access static variables and static methods without creating objects. i.e.,we can access directly by using classname we can also access static variables and static methods by using objects which are created by using class where the static variables and static methods are available
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.
Yes. In Java methods can be static and synchronized. Static methods access other static members in the class. Static in case of inheritance are treated as non - static. Synchronized methods are those which have dedicated thread attached to it and no other can access until currrent thread leaves the control from it.
Yes. The definition of function overloading is multiple methods with the same name, but different numbers of arguments and return types. static int getArea(int height, int width) { return height * width; } static double getArea(double height, double width) { return height * width; }
Static Blocks are always executed first. A static block is executed when your class is charged but a static method is executed only when is called, therefor first the class is charged and then is executed a method.
Static membors partispating in Overwriting in java?
A static method in java is also named a class method, because it does not need an instance (of his class) to be invoked. Static methods can't use instance variables (non static variables) or use the keywords 'this'. These methods receive all the information they need to complete his task from his parameters
In C there are functions only, In Java methodsonly (static methods as well), in C++ both.
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
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.
