Java Programming by Pearson

Explanation: A static method can be called from using an object of the class or using a class itself. Both the

ways have been demonstrated in the above program. As new demo() creates an object, the last line in the

main is also a correct way for calling a static method.

/*PROG 7.16 CALLING A STATIC METHOD FROM A NON STATIC METHOD */

class demo{

static void show()

{

System.out.println(“\n\nHello from static show”);

}

void display()

{

System.out.println(“\nHello from non static

display”);

show();

}

}

class JPS21

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

demo d1 = new demo();

d1.display();

} ...
