static method

thanks in advance

What would prevent you from doing so ? (please consider asking this kind of question to the beginner forum).

[Campbell Ritchie]

I agree with Christopher this sounds like a beginner's question.

You implement a static method exactly the same way in any class; remember you can't override static methods; look at this FAQ, and ask again if there's anything you don't understand.

Hi Manas,
Yes we can declare static methods in Abstract classes. You won't get any compiler error. But you cannot declare a method as both abstract and static. Because static methods cannot be overriden.
