Understanding Methods in Classes

What is required before calling an instance method?

• A static variable

• A class name

• A static method

• An object of the class

How can static methods be accessed?

• Using a static variable

• Using the object name

• Using the class name

• Using an instance variable

What is a key characteristic of static methods?

• They require an object to be created

• They can modify instance variables

• They are shared by all objects of the class

• They are unique to each object

Why can't static methods access instance variables?

• Because they are not part of the class

• Because instance variables belong to specific objects

• Because they are not defined in the class

• Because they are only used for static variables

What happens if a static method tries to change an instance variable?

• It will succeed

• It will cause an error

• It will change the static variable instead

• It will create a new instance variable
