Is it possible to overwrite a static method in parent class?
- by MartinDenny2069
I have a static method defined in a base class, I want to overwrite this method in its child class, is it possible?
I tried this but it did not work as I expected. When I created an instance of class B and invoke its callMe() method, the static foo() method in class A is invoked.
public abstract class A {
public static void foo() {
System.out.println("I am base class");
}
public void callMe() {
foo();
}
}
Public class B {
public static void foo() {
System.out.println("I am child class");
}
}
