What is the equivalent of Java static methods in Kotlin?

Question

There is no static keyword in Kotlin.

What is the best way to represent a static Java method in Kotlin?

Answer 1

In Java, we can write in below way

class MyClass {
  public static int myMethod() { 
  return 1;
  }
}

In Kotlin, we can write in below way

class MyClass {
  companion object {
     fun myMethod() : Int = 1
  }
}

a companion is used as static in Kotlin.
