Understanding Static and Non-Static Methods in Java

If you’re learning #Java, you’ve probably seen the keywords #static and wondered — what’s the difference between static and non-static methods? 🤔 Let’s break it down 👇 🧩 Static Methods - Belong to the #class, not to any specific object. - Can be called without creating an #object. - Commonly used for utility or helper functions. ⚙️ Non-Static Methods -Belong to objects created from the class. -Need an instance to be called. -Can access both static and non-static members of the class. 🔑 Key takeaway: -Use 'static' when behavior doesn’t depend on 'object' data. Use 'non-static' when the method works with 'instance' variables. 💬 What’s one thing about static that confused you when you first started learning Java?
