Using Class Methods

gregreed56's avatarGregory Reed

This is an example of how to use methods in different classes.

Java methods are methods in a class used to perform actions.

They can either be static or public.

Static Methods can be accessed in a class without creating an object.

Below is an example on using a Static Method. I created a class called UsingClassMethods.

public class UsingClassMethods
{  

Then I created a static method called testStaticMethod.

    static void testStaticMethod()
    {

Finally I call the static method testStaticMethod from the main method.

testStaticMethod();

Below is the hole code put together.

public class UsingClassMethods
{  
    //Since this method is static it can be accessed in this class without creating an object of this class
    static void testStaticMethod()
    {
        System.out.println("This is called from a static method in UsingClassMethods\n");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        //This is called from a static method in this class, UsingClassMethods
            testStaticMethod();
    }
}
