Uses of Static Method

We can create a method with static keyword and the method will be referred from the interface.

public interface InterfaceWithStaticMethod { public static void getStaticData() { System.out.println("Data from static method of interface !!!"); } }

public class MainClass { InterfaceWithStaticMethod.getStaticData(); }

The static method can be called in the class just by calling with interface having static method.
