Static Class Features
You can prepend the keyword "static" to either a variable or a method.
This variable or method is associated with the class and not with an object.
A class with only static members is called a utility.
Utilities and Constructors
If a utility has no constructor, it is legal to create an object of that type.
All classes have a default constructor automatically (with no parameters).
You can override the default constructor with our own default constructor, and make the constructor private.
Other notes:
It is perfectly legal to include a constructor in a utility class, however it does not much a lot of sense to instantiate one. This is why we commonly make the default constructor, if and when we include it, private.
I will also eventually post code from class up here, but I'd encourage writing it on your own.
