Questions and Answers

What is the main reason why static variables that are not constants should normally be private?

  • To prevent any changes to the variables
  • To make them accessible to all methods
  • To increase their visibility in the class
  • To restrict access to the variables (correct)
  • How is a static method different from a regular method?

  • A regular method is more efficient in memory usage
  • A regular method can access instance variables directly
  • A static method requires an instance of a class to be executed
  • A static method can be invoked without creating an object (correct)
  • Why can't a static method reference an instance variable of a class?

  • Due to limitations in the Java programming language
  • To prevent changes to the instance variables
  • To enforce encapsulation of the class
  • Because static methods don't have access to object-specific data (correct)
  • What happens if you try to invoke a non-static method from a static method directly?
