What does it do?
This statement declares a general static method meth. The additions make an interface method optional, define the parameter interface of the method, and specify which exceptions the method can raise or propagate. The additions have the same syntax and meaning as those for general instance methods.



Latest notes:

Static methods cannot be redefined, which means that they cannot be flagged as abstract or final.

Static methods are always executed in the class in which they were declared, even if they are called in subclasses or using the names of subclasses.
