Are there static methods in TOOL

Do static or class methods exist in TOOL?

If they do, I would appreciate a pointer to the documentation.

If they don't exist, what is best practice for creating utility or helper methods for things like string operations, getting random numbers within a range etc.

Thank you for considering this post.

No there is no "static" concept. So you have to instantiate your class with the utility methods in it. Probably the easiest is to have an attribute in a generic class as high up in your inherictance structure as you can. So then its intstantiated once and everything that inherits from there has access to it.

You could take your helper class and make a service object out of it. That way you could just call HelperClassSO.<public method> which is essentially acting as static method.... Just make sure your Service Object has the desired visibility.
