Answer 1

"In computer programming, a static variable is a variable that has been allocated statically so that its lifetime or "extent" extends across the entire run of the program"

In simple terms: When a program is running, all static methods are accessable without needing to declare an instance.
If a method in a class is static, your program can access that method without setting it as a variable.

Answer 2

A static method cannot access a non static method.

A static method is like a constant.
If you make the class static that would solve your problem.

Answer 3

public class Program
{
public static class Fruit{
void taste(){
System.out.println("sweet");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Fruit banana = new Fruit();
banana.taste();
}
}

Answer 4

Note: A class can't be made static. only the methods and variables in the class can be made static

Answer 5

Take out the Fruit class

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Fruit banana = new Fruit();
banana.taste();
}
}

public class Fruit{
void taste(){
System.out.println("sweet");
}
}

Answer 6

@Limitless thanks, never knew a class within a class could be static.

Answer 7

@Hassie if you look at his code, you'll see that he created a class inside of his class. In this case the Class Fruit needs to be static. Unless he moves the class Fruit outside of his main class.

Answer 8

We're all here to learn :D

Answer 9

thanks guys

Answer 10

but what's the keyword static

Answer 11

so if i I don't make my class a 'static',it will not be available for main to execute?

Answer 12

@Hassie,
Nested classes can be made static. It cannot access non-static fields and methods of outer class. It can access static fields and methods of outer class, including private fields and methods.
