A static method belongs to the class rather than to any specific instance of the class. Static methods can be called without creating an object of the class.

Key Points about Static Methods:

They can be called without creating an instance of the class.
They can only access static variables and static methods directly.
They cannot access instance variables or instance methods directly.

Code Example

​x
 
public class StaticMethodExample {    // Static method    public static void printMessage() {        System.out.println("This is a static method.");    }​    public static void main(String[] args) {        // Calling static method without creating an object        StaticMethodExample.printMessage();    }}

Output

This is a static method.
