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
Static is a keyword,when u execute a method in class file loaded, execute the first this method..
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.
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
Yes, a static method may be overloaded.
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.
The main method is called by the jvm when your program is executed. The main method is a static method: public static void main(String[] args) {} A static method is method that can be run without instantiate the class (creating an object from it) The main method is a static method. No other static method could replace it's functionality. PS By static method do you mean static initialiser? I often use static initialisers instead of a main method, but in these cases you must still have a main method, albeit an empty one ie. public static void main(String[] args) {} Notice that the method has an empty body A main method must be used if you intend to accept parameters at run time from the jvm.
yes we can call a static method with object
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.
in static programming properties, methods and object have to be declared first, while in dynamic programming they can be created at runtime. This is usually due to the fact that the dynamic programming language is an interpreted language.
If you need to access a method without creating an object of corresponding class, it need to be a static method.
No. Why? By definition. A static method is, precisely, a method that is not meant to operate on an object. It can only work with static fields, and other static methods, of its class.
Yes.
