Static class
Can a class be static? My idea is to declare a class whose attributes and methods can be accessed without creating its object.

A class cannot be static, but for you purposes you can set the attributes and methods to be static. This way you can access it without create an instance.

Code:
public class Constant { public static final String ERROR = "1"; public static String calculate(int number, int number) { // } } public class Test { public static void main(String... args) { String error = Constant.ERROR; Constant.calculate(1, 10); } }
