What are some examples of static methods in JavaScript?

Static methods are functions that belong to a class rather than an instance of a class. For example, in a class called Math, methods like Math.max() and Math.min() are static.

Can you explain how to define a static method in a class?

Sure! You can define a static method using the static keyword. For example:

class MyClass {
    static myStaticMethod() {
        return 'Hello, World!';
    }
}

You can call it using MyClass.myStaticMethod().

Are static methods inherited by subclasses?

Yes, static methods are inherited by subclasses. If a subclass extends a parent class, it can access the static methods of the parent class.

Can you give me an example of a static method that calculates something?

Certainly! Here's an example of a static method that calculates the area of a rectangle:

class Rectangle {
    static area(length, width) {
        return length * width;
    }
}

You can call it like this: Rectangle.area(5, 10).
