QUESTION 2 Methods that can be called directly through the class name and do not need to have an object instantiated are called . a. final b. public c. static d. private e. none of the above

c. Static

Explanation:

A static method is that type of method that can be called directly through the class name and do not need to have an object instantiated.

This is a method which belongs to the class and not to the object. A static method can access only static data.

One rule of thumb when creating objects should be for one to ask himself "does it make sense to call this method, even if no Obj has been constructed yet?" If so, it should definitely be static.

The static method syntax is ,

<class-name>.<method-name>

A static method is created when you want to call a method without creating the object.
