It may seems to be overriding the static methods, but the
real fact is HIDING.

class Foo {
public static void classMethod() {
System.out.println("classMethod() in Foo");

}

public void instanceMethod() {
System.out.println("instanceMethod() in Foo");
}
}

class Bar extends Foo {
public static void classMethod() {
System.out.println("classMethod() in Bar");

}

public void instanceMethod() {
System.out.println("instanceMethod() in Bar");
}
}

class StaticHiding {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Foo f = new Bar();

f.instanceMethod();
f.classMethod();


when u run this program output will be:

instanceMethod() in Bar
classMethod() in Foo.

Here if u say it to be overriding then the
subclass ie., Bar class having static classMethod() should
be executed. But the fact here is Foo class static
classMethod() is executed.

So its method HIDING and not method
overriding..

I hope i have given answer to my best if
anyone feels wrong plz do post ur suggestions..
