Static Method
Noun · Development
Definitions
A method defined on a class rather than on instances of it, callable without creating an object. It has no access to instance state (no `this`/`self` binding to an instance) and is commonly used for utility functions, factory methods, or namespaced helpers.
In plain English: A function that belongs to a class itself rather than to any particular object created from that class.
Example: "Math.max is a static method — you call it on the class directly, not on some Math instance."
