Behavior of static blocks with inheritance

Question

I am trying to use static blocks like this:

I have a base class called Base.java

public class Base {

    static public int myVar;

}
         


        

Answer 1

When we do

class Base {

    public static int myVar = 0;
    static {
        System.out.println("Base");
    }
}

class Derived extends Base {

    static {
        System.out.println("Derived");
        Base.myVar = 9;

    }
}

public class StaticBlock {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println(Base.myVar);
        System.out.println(Derived.myVar);
    }
}

The Output will be Base 0 0

That means derived class's static block not executing..!!
