What Does The “static” Keyword Mean ? Can You Override Private Or Static Method In Java ? |
|
Answer» The static keyword DENOTES that a member variable or method can be accessed, WITHOUT requiring an instantiation of the class to which it belongs. A user cannot override static methods in Java, because method overriding is based upon dynamic binding at runtime and static methods are STATICALLY BINDED at compile time. A static method is not associated with any instance of a class so the concept is not APPLICABLE.
