Finally, you use keywords to indicate what sort of method you are defining:
static
keyword indicates that the movieRating
method
is a class method. If you were to leave out the static
keyword,
you would define an instance method, as described in
Chapter 10.
public
keyword indicates that any method, defined in any
class, can call the movieRating
method. If you were to use the
protected
or private
keywords instead, you would indicate
that access to the movieRating
method is restricted, as
described in Chapter 15.
