Are the keywords this and super usable in static methods?

In static methods in Java, you cannot use the keyword this because this refers to the current instance of the object, and a static method is not tied to a specific object.

The keyword super is used to refer to methods or constructors of the superclass. In static methods, super cannot be used because super also refers to an instance of the object, and static methods are called without creating an object.

In summary:

• this in static methods — not allowed
• super in static methods — not allowed

Example:

public class Example {
    public static void staticMethod() {
        // System.out.println(this); // Compilation error
        // super.toString(); // Compilation error
    }
}
