Java Tutorial for Beginners - 24 - Differences between a constructor and a method 

DanceToThisBeat1 Thanks ... felt it was important to make a video on that topic since constructors are critical

Thanks and I have no idea why no one has a real good video on that subject.

I will have the videos on static back up in a few days - just wanted to tweak them for maximum understanding

@@EJMedia1 neither do I.

Debangsu Sarkar Thank you sir

Briannadeg Yes just variables and methods ... constructors are really used to build the object with the new keyword. Static is never part of an object they exist outside of the object in its own memory that is actually shared. It is the class loader that actually scans for anything with the keyword static and then loads it into shared memory - then all objects can access that shared memory where the static variable or methods reside.

Ohhhh thank you! So basically objects can access static methods and variables. Thank you!

Briannadeg Ya think of a class - you create 40 objects from it or 40 instances of that class - they can all access the same static variables because the static is always out there and in shared memory and of course statics are not part of the object - and therefore only one copy of the static variable or method has to be loaded

Shane D At a minimum you can just create a object to kick everything off in the main - which I did with the new keyword but its not necessary to put any more code there - in fact most programmers will do just that - create an object and that kicks everything else off outside the main. There are some programmers though that prefer to put everything in the main line by line - its really preference how you prefer to do things

+EJ Media Thanks for the vids! Why is the main method a thing if we can use an object to start everything?

+James Whyte You still need an entry point.

I remember I had to really plan on how to explain this topic
