✏️ Explanatory Question
To declare a static method:
public class SoftwareKey
{
static public boolean validateSoftwareKey(str _softwareKeyString)
{
return true;
}
}
To call the static method:
boolean result = SoftwareKey::validateSoftwareKey("ABC123");
Notice:
No object instantiation is required.
The class name is used directly.
The :: operator connects the class name to the static method.
This syntax clearly differentiates class-level behavior from instance-level behavior.
