Inheritance in Static Methods

Question

Why does the below code print \"Main\"?

public class Main
{
    public static void method()
    {
        System.out.println(\"Main\");
    }

    public sta         


        

Answer 1

Static methods are resolved on the compile-time type of the variable. m is of type Main, so the method in Main is called.

If you change it to SubMain m ..., then the method on SubMain will be called.
