What type of class do I need for this?

Question

I want to create a class that is usable without being instanced, but that can also be instanced. Similar to a math class I suppose.

Thanks

Can you say what you're trying to accomplish? It's hard to be sure that simply adding static methods to a class has anything to do with what you really need. — egrunin, Oct 31 '10 at 23:10

If you add static methods to the class, you can call them like this

 ClassName::staticMethod();

You are not stopped from also creating instances of this class.
