What is the difference between static (class) method and instance method?
static or class method 1) A method that is declared as static is known as the static method 2) We don't need to create the objects to call the static methods 3) Non-static (instance) members cannot be accessed in static context (static method, static block and static nested class) directly. 4) For example: public static int cube(int n){ return n*n*n*; (multiply *) } Instance method 1) A method that is not declared as static is known as the instance method. 2) The object is required to call the instance method. 3) Static and non-static variables both can be accessed in instance methods. 4) For example: public void msg() { ...}.
