I read a line in Kathy Sierra that "STATIC METHOD CANNOT BE OVERRIDDEN".
I had a debate with some of my friends on this topic.
They say: "Static method can be overridden but there is no use of it because
Polymorphism does not apply to it".
But i say: "No, We simply cannot override Static methods and if we do so by modifying the subclass method as
static then it is not called overriding but called as redefining of the method according to Kathy Sierra"
I go over the code:
The above code throws a compile error that "aMethod()" cannot be overridden; aMethod() in A is static.
If the compiler error has been developed so, why my friends do not agree with me?
I had an argument over this topic in one of my interviews too...
PLEASE CLEAR MY DOUBT FRIENDS...
