Why Static Classes Are Allowed In Interfaces
Oct 25, 2014I am reading about interface and i see that classes are allowed inside interfaces which are implicitly static. Here is sample of code i created and i am able to access the static method and fields as well. Here is the code snippet.
public class TestInnerClass {
public static void main(String[] args){
Test.NestedClass.printMe();
}
}
interface Test{
static class NestedClass{
static int x = 100 ;
public static void printMe(){
System.out.println(x);
}
}
}
My question is what is the use of such static classes inside interface? If i don't have access to Foo, i can't ever invoke NestedClass. Whats the design usage?
Can't Call Non-static Methods Inside Static
Aug 19, 2014i am trying to make something, and i want to request input from user and it shoud look like this
1. xxx -> press 1 to choose this
2. xxx -> press 2 to choose this
So if they enter 3 or string or whatever i want to restart method and show again
1. xxx -> press 1 to choose this
2. xxx -> press 2 to choose this
So here is method that i am trying to restart
public static void askUser(){
System.out.println("xxx");
System.out.println("1. xxx");
System.out.println("2. xxx");
System.out.println("3. xxx");
[code]....
If i try to make it public void than it say can't call non-static methods inside static(main).if i try to put it into new class and then call it after i fail input it goes into infinite loop.
Static Main Calling Non-static Methods
Oct 21, 2014package Experimentation;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class SimpleGUI1B implements ActionListener {
JButton button;
public static void main(String[] args) {
SimpleGUI1B gui = new SimpleGUI1B();
gui.go();
[code]...
This is a program from Head First Java! since main is static it shouldn't be able to call non-static methods because statics do not use any instance variable values but in the above program we're call a non-static method go() how is it possible?
How To Call Non Static Methods From Other Classes
Apr 16, 2015how come you can call non static methods from other classes(objects when they are created from main) but not static methods in the same class as the main method??
example I cannot call the method maximum from the main method aslong as its not static BUT i can call other objects non static methods from main??
class test{
public static void main(String [] args){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); //create new Scanner object
//for input
int number1;

Bundle Several Static Methods For Tax Computations
Sep 11, 2014Question:_public class TaxComputer {
private static double basicRate = 4.0;
private static double luxuryRate = 10.0;
1. Create a class that will bundle together several static methods for tax computations. This class should not have a constructor. Its attributes are
• basicRate—the basic tax rate as a static double variable that starts at 4 percent - a private static method
• luxuryRate—the luxury tax rate as a static double variable that starts at 10 percent - a private static method
Its methods are
• computeCostBasic(price) —a static method that returns the given price plus the basic tax, rounded to the nearest penny.
• computeCostLuxury(price) —a static method that returns the given price plus the luxury tax, rounded to the nearest penny.
• changeBasicRateTo(newRate) —a static method that changes the basic tax rate.
• changeLuxuryRateTo(newRate) —a static method that changes the luxury tax rate.
• roundToNearestPenny(price)—a private static method that returns the given price rounded to the nearest penny. For example, if the price is 12.567, the method will return 12.57.
My code:
public class TejvirThindCh6Ex1 {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
//Atributes
private static double basicRate = 4.0;
private static double luxuryRate = 10.0;
public static double computercostbasic(double price)

Static Methods Preventing Usage Of Instances?
Jun 17, 2014Declaring the method as static precludes one from using any sort of object oriented programming, thus the method cannot access instance fields of the object if it needs to.
I created two short classes to sort of find out what this meant, but I feel I do not understand it well enough.
Test class (main):
package votek;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SomeMethod();
}
public static void SomeMethod() {
Character character = new Character();
character.totalLevel = 50;
System.out.println(character.totalLevel);
}
}
Character class:
package votek;
public class Character {
private int level = 0;
public Character() {
level = 50;
}
}
OR
Does it mean that making a static method in the class with private instances will prevent the method from using the private instances?
Interfaces In Java API
May 14, 2014I understand that interface methods are abstract. I don't understand what the methods in the API do if the method bodies are empty. For example, say there are two interfaces, both with one method with no parameters. What would make these two interfaces different from each other. In the API, the AudioClip interface has the methods play(), stop(), and loop(). If abstract methods have no method bodies, and these methods take no parameters, what makes them different from each other.
View Replies View RelatedInstance Variables Passed In As Arguments To Static Methods?
Feb 19, 2011I thought static methods could never use instance variables, because they wouldn't know which instance to look at.
From Head First Java, p. 284: "A static method is not associated with a particular instance - only the class - so it cannot access any instance variable values of its class. It wouldn't know which instance's values to use."
Now I was answering some mock exam questions from Cameron McKenzie's SCJA book, and I don't understand one of the options. On page 205, the last question has an option that says: "Instance variables ... are not visible in static methods, unless passed in as arguments." This option is supposed to be correct. Now... how does that work?
Creating Static Methods That Accepts Arguments And Returns A Value
Oct 7, 2014This is titled "Creating static methods that accepts arguments and returns a value". I think that I understood everything about this except for the very bottom part of the code. I wasn't really sure where to put it. From the errors that I am seeing, I know which line is giving the errors but I'm not sure what is wrong with it.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ParadiseInfo2{

How Multiple Inheritance Is Possible In Java With Interfaces
Apr 11, 2014This is my assignment.
Identify how multiple inheritance is possible in Java with interfaces.
Write a java programme with appropriate classes to demonstrate the above.
Hint: both inheritance and interface concepts are necessary.
For the project name in netbeans, use your id and the name "assignment" separated by underscore,

Can Static Method Return Instances Of Same Class In Special Case Where Everything Is Static?
Jun 27, 2014From what i understand static methods should be called without creating an instance of the same class . If so why would they return an instance of the same class like in the following : public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) , the Location class being the same class where the method is defined . I don't understand this , does it mean that every field and every method in the class must be static ? Meaning that you cannot have instances of the class because everything is static . Or it's just a mistake and the class Location cannot have a static method: public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) ?

Non-Static Method Cannot Be Called From Static Context Errors
Jul 27, 2014I'm working on a banking program that is supposed to use 3 classes (Account-base class, CheckingAccount, and SavingsAccount) and several methods to display the banking information (ID, balance after a withdrawal and deposit, and the annual interest rate). This should be a pretty simple program, but I'm getting hung up on one portion of it. I'm getting some compiler errors, all of which deal with non-static variables being called from a static context (I'll also post these errors following the code). Up until the middle of last week, we just declared everything as static, but that's changed and I'm having trouble figuring out when to and when not to use static when declaring my methods, hence the compiler errors.
import java.util.Date;
public class Account {
private int id = 0;
private double balance = 0;
private double annualInterestRate = 0;
private Date dateCreated = new Date();
[Code] ....
Here are the compiler errors I am receiving:
Compilation completed. The following files were not compiled:

Cannot Make Static Reference To Non-static Type String

How To Have Static Or Non-static Method Reference As Parameter
Nov 18, 2014I had a TestColor class which contained methods to change hue, saturation, brightness, red, green, blue of TestColor's instances but also had static methods which take in an additional parameter for an instance of TestColor and returns the affected instance of TestColor. Now instead of having one method for every possible color effect to be applied to an image, how can I have one method that takes in an Image parameter, a static or non-static method reference from TestColor parameter and lastly an intensnity value parameter. This is so that I can make an affectedImage object instance inside the method and a Graphics2D object for drawing to each pixel of the new image, now I have one for loop and one nested for loop for the x and y pixels of width and height of the old image and inside the nested for loop I'd create a TestColor by calling getRGB on the image's pixel. Then I would apply the static or non-static method reference somehow to change the color with the intensnity value and after applying it draw to the new Image with Graphics2D. How to would I parametize a method reference and be able to use it in such way?
View Replies View RelatedUsing Variable From Static Extended Class In Non-Static
Nov 18, 2014This is a someway special question, because I am using jmonkeyEngine.
But the topic is simple:

as the main class and a second class for the chips:

public int team;
private AssetManager assetManager = Spielstein.getAM(); //THIS IS THE PROBLEM
public Spielstein(int t_player, int t_team){
