What is the different between static and non-static methods?

Non static members belong to instances of a class, while static members belong to the class itself.  For more information, read wtd's [url=http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=9576]Introduction to Java.

say u have:

public class SomeClass {
 public static void someStaticMethod() {
  System.out.println("this is a static method");
 }

 public void someMethod() {
  System.out.println("this is not a static method");
 }
}

then you would call them like this:

SomeClass.someStaticMethod();

SomeClass blah = new SomeClass();
blah.someMethod();


:D
