Can we override a static method in child class? || Famous Interview Question

Can we override a static method in child class? || Famous Interview Question
Static methods can not be overridden in the exact sense of the word, but they can hide parent static methods
In practice it means that que compiler will decide which method to execute at compile time, and not in runtime, as it does with overridden instance methods.
For a neat example have a look here.
And this is java documentation explaining the difference between overriding instance methods and hiding class (static) methods.
Overriding: Overriding in Java simply means that the particular method would be called based on the run time type of the object and not on the compile time type of it (which is the case with overriden static methods)
Hiding: Parent class methods that are static are not part of a child class (although they are accessible), so there is no question of overriding it. Even if you add another static method in a subclass, identical to the one in its parent class, this subclass static method is unique and distinct from the static method in its parent class.

[@dilrubaahmed8302]

Hello, Can anyone please tell me any video to learn REGEX for testers?

[@Sear-hh4gf]

Thanks so much Naveen, for clearing this.

[@mahendratestingfy]

Can we inherit static members ? As of my knowledge no we can't But in the internet i am getting yes and no both answers Which one is correct ? Can we inherit or not ?

[@vengateshm2122]

Can we mark the method as final in super class for method hiding.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Yes, you can make final method in parent class to prevent method overriding. But this is not method hiding. Method hiding is when you have a static method in parent class and same static method in child class (this is not method overriding). This is method hiding in Java.

[@vengateshm2122]

@@naveenautomationlabs Thank You.

[@shareefshaik6057]

Only word "FIDA" :)

[@ravireddyism]

7.36 " it says the method start of type BMV must implement or override the super class method " this is what you are doing . it didn't tell us to not use static method. However you have to tell your students why you should not use static methods. I'm waiting for anyone to clarify.

[@kishanchakra]

Question: Why can't we override static method?

[@ashishkumarmishra2346]

Static means common..So anything is declared as Static means its common to all, meaning anyone can use without any permission just use it that's why you declared the method as static use it without changing in implementation part. But when you override any method this means you are changing the implementation part although the method name and signature are the same.That's the reason the static method cannot be overridden.
