static methods cannot be overridden.

[Phillipe Rodrigues]

Is it that static methods cannot be overridden?

if so please let me know where am i doing wrong with reference to below code:

  
public class dumn
{
dumn(){
}
 
      [B]static public int doCheck(){
int h=90;
System.out.println(h);
//System.out.println(a);
return h;
}[/B]
 
};
 

 
public class dumb extends dumn 
{
//static dumb db;
dumb(){
}
int a=10;
[B]static public int doCheck(){
int i=25;
System.out.println(i);
return i;
//System.out.println(a);
}[/B]
 
//abstract static int justTp();
 
public static void main(String[] args) 
{
dumb db =new dumb();
//db.doCheck();
dumb .doCheck();
}
}
 
  

Output:
---------- Run ----------
25
Normal Termination
Output completed (0 sec consumed).

Check Overriding vs Hiding.
