Hi Terry.RHE says that static methods cannot be overriden because they do not participate in runtime polymorphism.That is , if i have code that looks like
then the method in class A will be called and not the one in class B.Since static members belong to a class and not to a particular object,the static method will be called according to reference.
Thus the static method in child class will HIDE the method in base class,and not override it.
I hope I have been clear enough.
