Answer / dhawal
first understand meaning of static keyword,when we use
static keyword before any data type or before method then
single copy of that method or variale crated in memory,and
use that copy for only that particular class,means as far my
knowledge we can not use static method in subclass.

Answer / chitij mehrotra
Yes static method in the super class is inherited in the sub
class. See the example:
class Superclass
{
static int id;
Superclass()
{
id = 1;
}
public void show()
{
System.out.println("This is a non static method");
}
public static void value()
{
System.out.println("Super class static method");
}
}
class Subclass extends Superclass
{
}
public class Example
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Subclass sub = new Subclass();
System.out.println(Superclass.id);
Superclass.value();
System.out.println(Subclass.id);
Subclass.value();
}
}

Answer / mohan
static methods can be inherited into sub class also..we can
override the static methods also..
Here is the example code
package files;
class A
{
public static void test()
{
System.out.println("static override A");
}
}
class B extends A
{
public static void test()
{
A.test();
System.out.println("static override B");
}
}
public class StaticInheritance {
public static void main(String args[])
{
B b = new B();
b.test();
}
}
Output:
static override A
static override B

Answer / dhanunjaya
see below example it is possible to inherite the static methods from the parent class
class Test{
void m1(){
System.out.println("test instance method");
}
static void m2(){
System.out.println("test static method");
}
}
class Demo extends Test{
void m3(){
System.out.println("demo instance method");
}
public static void main(String ar[]){
System.out.println("main method");
Demo d=new Demo();
d.m3();
d.m2();
}
}
o/p:main method
demo instance method
test static method

Answer / ramana
As per my knowledge static method can not be inhertated ,
but we use the same concept provideing that method hidding
concept.i.e we should not override the super class static
method in subclass.we just declare in subclass under
hidding concept.
