💡 Can you override a static method in Java?
❌ No, you can’t override static methods in Java.

Why?
Because static methods are resolved at compile time, not runtime. That means they belong to the class, not the instance.

🧩 What can you do?
You can declare a static method with the same signature in a subclass — but this is called method hiding, not overriding.

📌 Key takeaway:
Overriding = instance method (polymorphism)
Hiding = static method (no polymorphism)

Understanding this difference is crucial when dealing with inheritance in Java. 🧠
