Can default methods in interfaces be static?

Can default methods in interfaces be static?

No, default methods in interfaces cannot be static. They are meant to provide a default implementation for instance methods.

Why can't default methods be static?

Default methods are designed to be called on instances of the implementing class, while static methods belong to the class itself.

Can you give an example of a default method?

Sure! In Java, you can define a default method in an interface like this: default void myMethod() { System.out.println("Hello"); }.

What happens if a class implements multiple interfaces with the same default method?

In that case, the class must override the default method to resolve the conflict.
