Kas saaksite selgitada, mis on staatiline meetod objektorienteeritud programmeerimises?

A static method is a class method that belongs to the class itself, not to a specific instance of the class. It can be called without creating an instance of the class. In C#, static methods are declared with the keyword static.

Features of static methods:

• They do not have access to the class's non-static fields and methods because they are not associated with a specific object.
• They can be used for operations that do not depend on the state of an object.

Example:

class Calculator
{
    public static int Add(int a, int b)
    {
        return a + b;
    }
}

// Calling a static method without creating an object
int result = Calculator.Add(5, 3);
