(This question is not related to what the method reference is used for and I couldn't find any proper answer here about the method calls itself)
Is there any differences between calling a static/non-static method within the class with method reference and a regular call, for example:
public class FooClass {
private static void foo() {
...
}
private void testCalls() {
FooClass.foo(); //Regular call
// vs.
FooClass::foo; //Method reference
}
}
I know that method reference is related to lambda, but in this case I want to ignore those capabilities, and only compare the calls. Is there a difference in terms of method calls and is one better/prefered than the other?
