static methods cannot be overriden.true or false

Hi,

static methods can't be overridden or you can't override a method by prefixing static keyword. The reason is that the members are inherited only when the object gets created for superclass as well as subclass. But for static methods you can even invoke on the class without actual object creation.

Always, I said always, when you hear about overriding, just think about instance methods.

Once static methods are class methods they can be "redefined" not "overriden".

When overrinding you can use the "super" keyword. So, if you try to use the "super" keyword inside a static method you get a compilation error.

This is the evidence you cannot override a static method.
