Solution
Method which is a part of a class rather than an instance of the class is termed as static method.
Explanation:
A method that is a part of a class rather than an instance (object) of the class is called a static method.
- A static method belongs to the class itself, not to any individual object.
- It can be called directly using the class name without creating an object.
- Static methods can access only static data members directly.
- In Java, the keyword
staticis used to declare a static method.
