Static to Instance Method can't Override in Java #tamilexplanation #javaprogramming

In Java, a static method cannot override an instance method because static methods are associated with the class itself, not with instances (objects) of the class. Static methods are resolved at compile time, while instance methods are resolved at runtime based on the object. Since static methods belong to the class and not to any specific object, they can't be dynamically bound to different objects, which is a key feature of method overriding. Instead, when you try to "override" a static method in a subclass, it's actually method hiding, not overriding. The subclass's static method simply hides the superclass's static method, and the method that gets called depends on the reference type, not the object type.
