Line 131:

In Java, a commonly used static method is:

Math.max(double a, double b)

This static method has no owning object and does not run on an instance. It receives all information from its arguments.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship|last = Martin|first = Robert C.|publisher = Prentice Hall|year = 2009|isbn = 978-0-13-235088-4|___location = |pages = 296|author-link = Robert Cecil Martin}}</ref>

A static method can be invoked even if no instances of the class exist yet. Static methods are called "static" because they are resolved at [[compile time]] based on the class they are called on and not dynamically as in the case with instance methods, which are resolved polymorphically based on the runtime type of the object.
