Modern JavaScript from the Beginning - Second Edition - Static Methods

The video tutorial explains the difference between regular and static methods in programming. Regular methods require an instance of a class to be called, as they use instance-specific data. Static methods, however, can be called directly on the class without needing an instance. The tutorial provides examples, such as calculating an area using regular methods and retrieving class names using static methods. It also discusses the practical use of static methods in UI classes, where only one instance is needed. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of implementing static methods.

Provide an example of a situation where using a static method would be appropriate.

What happens if you try to call a static method using an instance of the class?
