Yes, from Java 8 onwards, we can define static and default methods

in an interface. Prior to Java 8, it was not allowed.

interface Test1 {
    static void show();
}
 
public class Main 
{ 
    void show(){
        System.out.println("Implmented method.");
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        Main object = new Main();
        object.show();
    } 
}
