title: When to declare a method as static in Salesforce
body: <p>I was wondering what are the implications of declaring a method as static. I understand that when declared as static, I can use the method without instantiating the class. But when should I declare a method as static and what are the implications when I declare a method as static. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any help/clarification on this topic. </p>
