Will JVM execute static methods by default like static variables in java?

Answer 1

No. Static methods are invoked by using the name of the class instead of the name of an instance of a class. Example:

public class Test {

public static void methodA {

// do something ...

}

public void methodB {

// do something else ...

}

}

A program could use methodA by simply calling it using the class name:

// call the static method

Test.methodA();

To use methodB(), a program would have to first create an instance of the class then call the method:

// call the non-static method

Test t = new Test();

t.methodB();

Note that you can call methodA from the instance:

// call the static method

Test t = new Test();

t.methodA();

However, this is considered bad practice. And you cannot call methodB at all using the class name:

// can't do this - compile error

Test.methodB();
