Example of static method

// Return the number of Employees ever created

static public int getNoEmps()

{return noEmps;}

// A static method may be called only using the class name.

// It may not be called using a variable name.

Employee v1= new Employee(�Millett�);

// WRONG:

System.out.println(v1.getNoEmps());

// RIGHT:

System.out.println(Employee.getNoEmps());
