Hello everyone,

I am a very beginner java user and I have some doubts:

1- see these examples:

Weight weightObject = new Weight();
WeightObject.getWeight();

Or

Point myPoint = new Point();
MyPoint.setX();
MyPoint.setY();


The above examples the method is called from an object!

2- see these examples:
String number;
Int num =Integer.parselnt(number);

Or

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Message", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

* here JOptionPane and Integer are both classes and methodes (parselnt and showMessageDialog) are methodes called from the class


MQ is:

What is the difference between calling a method from an object and calling a method from the class?Why do we have these two types of methods?

Wating for your answers guys ...I really need it^_^

Thanx in advance.

Class methods are "static" methods, as opposed to "instance" methods.
