Method confusion

Question

In the previous lessons, it was shown that a method could be called without creating an object. Now this is saying to create a new dog object in the Animal class to call dog.bark(). But can can't just call bark() as shown before? Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Method must be static to be called without instance.

Answer 2

If method doesn't use any of its class non-static fields, then you should mark it static, otherwise it can't be static.

Answer 3

Oh thanks Zilvinas! Also, can you tell me when it is more beneficial to use static and when not to? Thanks a bunch!

Answer 4

solo usa un metodo Static() :v
