## Answers

### Answer by Arti Mishra

**Static Method:** Static methods are those methods that are **defined using static keyword**. If you define any method as static you **don’t need to create an object** of that particular method. And a **static method call directly by using the class name.****\****How to use static method :** class_name.static_method_name();\
**Example –**class Student{ int rollno; String name; static void dispaly(){ System.out.println(“Static block Call”); } Student(int r, String n){ rollno = r; name = n; } void displayData(){System.out.println(rollno+" "+name);}\
public static void main(String args[]){ Student.display(); Student s1 = new Student9 (111,"Arti"); Student s2 = new Student9 (222,"Harsh"); Student s3 = new Student9 (333,"Aditya"); Student s4 = new Student9 (333,"Vishal"); s1.display(); s2.display(); s3.display(); s4.display(); }}\
