Refer to the static method. PHP Code example

class Math{
	const PI = 3.14;

	public static function rangeArea(float $r) : float{
// in the body of the static method to access the constant use self::name
		return $r * $r * self::PI;
	}

	public static function rangeLength(float $r) : float{
		return 2 * $r * self::PI;
	}
}

We can resort to the static method without creating a class object

echo Math::rangeArea(5) 
echo Math::rangeLength(5) 

self:: use for early static binding there is also late static binding to get it use static::
