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

Eclipse gives me this sort of warning when I try to do this sort of thing:

The static method XXX() from the type XXX should be accessed in a static way

Static methods do not take part in inheritance. The variable is of type Main, so the compiler resolved your function call to Main.method().

For added fun, try setting m to null.
