What are static classes in programming?

Can you explain what static classes are in programming?

Sure! A static class is a class that cannot be instantiated and is used to hold static members.

What are some use cases for static classes?

Static classes are often used for utility functions, constants, or to group related methods that don't require object state.

Can you give me an example of a static class in C#?

Certainly! In C#, you might have a static class like this: public static class MathUtils { public static int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } }.

Are there any limitations to using static classes?

Yes, static classes cannot implement interfaces or inherit from other classes, and they cannot be instantiated.
