hi,
Can we call static method with object also. Or only way to call static method is to call through class name only...

Beginning is the half of every action.........

Thanks.

Syntactically, you can do either:

A obj = new A();
obj.someStaticMethod(); //#1
A.someStaticMethod(); //#2

#2 is preferred over #1 since it makes it clear that the method is static. #1 is a sneaky short-cut and style checkers will flag it as a no-no.
