How do we invoke static methods?
We can invoke a static method by using its class reference. An instance method is invoked by using the object reference. We can’t access instance methods and instance variables with the help of Static methods in Java. We can access static variables and static methods with the help of the Instance method.
CAN interfaces have implemented static methods?
Static methods in an interface since java8 Since Java8 you can have static methods in an interface (with body). You need to call them using the name of the interface, just like static methods of a class.
Can a static method be defined in an implementation class?
Similar to Default Method in Interface, the static method in an interface can be defined in the interface, but cannot be overridden in Implementation Classes. To use a static method, Interface name should be instantiated with it, as it is a part of the Interface only. Below programs illustrate static methods in interfaces:

How to allow static members in an interface?
Allowing static members in interfaces (or possibly static interfaces) could likewise help with the “generic numeric operator” issue. I wrote about this a little while ago when facing a similar problem. You could use the Factory pattern.
Are there any static methods in C #?
The downside is that there is no specific support for some of these template scenarios in C#. Static methods are one. Another one is constructors; ideally, ISerializable should force the developer to implement the protected serialization constructor.
