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

Answer 1

The kotlin documents provider three ways to do that, the first is define function in package,without class:

package com.example

fun f() = 1

the second is use @JvmStatic annotation:

package com.example

class A{
@JvmStatic
fun f() = 1
}

and the third is use companion object:

package com.example

clss A{
companion object{
fun f() = 1
}
}
