Hello Pankaj. I want to know the difference between abstract class and interface in java 8, if we can declare and implement static methods in Interface in java 8, then abstract class and interface becomes same … Could you please clarify on this ?

Hi, I surfed the web and came to know about Journaldev and started following your materials to learn Java. I found the content really simple in an easily understandable way. While going through the following program from this link (https://www.journaldev.com/22385/java-method) package com.journaldev.util; public class MathUtils { public int add (int x, int y) { return x + y; } public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { MathUtils mu = new MathUtils(); System.out.println(mu.add(5, 2)); MathUtils.print(“Static Method”); } public static void print(String s) {} } I’ve few doubts, can you please clarify them. Why did we use these methods in our program 1) MathUtils.print(“Static Method”); and 2) public static void print(String s) {} Without these lines also I’m getting the same output. Can you please let me know the reason we’re using this. Thankyou
- Sai Krishna
It’s just showcasing how to define and call static methods.
