Calling static method from non static method in java

  • Static means class level and non static means object level.
  • Non static variable gets memory in each in every object dynamically.
  • Static variables are not part of object and while class loading itself all static variables gets memory.
  • Like static variables we have static methods. Without creating object we can access static methods.
  • Static methods are class level. and We can still access static methods in side non static methods.
  • We can call static methods without using object also by using class name.
  • And the answer to the question of  "is it possible to call static methods from non static methods in java" is yes.
  • If we are calling a static method from non static methods means calling a single common method using unique object of class which is possible. 


Program #1: Java example program to call static method from non static method. 


;
public class StaticMethodDemo {
void nonStaticMethod(){
        
        System.out.println("Hi i am non static method");
        staticMethod();
 }
    
 public static void staticMethod(){
        
        System.out.println("Hi i am static method");
  }
    
 public static void main(String[] args) {
        StaticMethodDemo obj= new StaticMethodDemo();
        
        obj.nonStaticMethod();
    }
}
 Output:

Hi i am non static method
Hi i am static method

In the above program we have created object of the class and called a non static method on that object and in side non static method called a static method.
So it is always possible to access static variables and static methods in side non static methods
