How do I create a class method in Java?

To create a class method in Java, you define it within a class using the static keyword. For example:

class MyClass {
    static void myMethod() {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

What does the static keyword do?

The static keyword means that the method belongs to the class itself rather than to instances of the class. You can call it without creating an object.

Can you give me an example of calling that method?

Sure! You can call the method like this:

MyClass.myMethod();

This will output "Hello, World!" to the console.

Are there any limitations to static methods?

Yes, static methods cannot access instance variables or instance methods directly. They can only access static variables and methods.
