= Method invocation =
== invokestatic ==
invoke a static method:

<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
invokestatic
indexbyte1
indexbyte2
</syntaxhighlight>

invoke a static method, the method is from the constant pool by <syntaxhighlight lang="java">index= (indexbyte1 << 8) | indexbyte2</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="java">

Invoke instance method; dispatch based on class

== invokespecial ==

Invoke instance method; special handling for superclass, private, and instance initialization method invocations

<pre>

         4: return
