Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a question about this code right here public Car { public static void m1(){ System.out.println("a"); } public void m2(){ System.out.println("b"); } } class Mini extends Car { public static void m1() { System.out.println("c"); } public void m2(){ System.out.println("d"); } public static void main(String args[]) { Car c = new Mini(); c.m1(); c.m2(); } } I know that polymorphism does not work with static methods, only to instance methods. And also that overriding doesn't work for static methods. Therefore I think that this program should print out: c, d Because c calls the m1 method, but it's static, so it can't override and it calls the method in class Mini instead of Car. Is this correct? However, my textbook says that the answer should be : a, d is it a typo? Because I'm a little confused right now. Please clear this up, thanks.
