In C# a static class is a class that, in addition to not supporting inheritance, can have any kind of type member a “normal” class can have except instance members.
Not so sure how static classes work in java, but based on the limited amount of java code I have seen, it’s clear to me that they don’t work quite the same way.
Can someone please enumerate the differences?
Static classes in Java are one of three kinds of nested classes provided by the language (the other two being non-static nested classes and function-scoped classes).
Static classes of Java behave the same way that nested classes of C#: they have access to static members of the enclosing class, but cannot access instance members without an additional reference to the enclosing object. In contrast, non-static nested functions can access instance variables, but you need an enclosing instance in order to be instantiated.
