Over riding static methods

Question

hi i wrote two static methods with same signatures in two different classes. i know that static methods never override.but observe this code..
class staticoverload1
static void display()
               System.out.println("i am from first display");
class staticoverload2 extends staticoverload1
     static int a=10;
     static void display()
          staticoverload1.display();
          System.out.println("the value of x is:"+a);
class staticoverload
     public static void main(String args[])
          staticoverload2 s1=new staticoverload2();
          s1.display();
i got output as follows:
i am from first display
x value is :10
in the above problem over riding is happened or not

Answer 1

Please post your code in code tags.
s1.display();
Don't call static methods on objects. Tis ugly. But it will use the type of the reference.
class Test {
     public static void display() {
          System.out.println("Test");
     public static void main(String[] argv) {
          Test t = new Test2();
          t.display(); // Prints "Test". Even if you set it to null.
class Test2 extends Test {
     public static void display() {
          System.out.println("Test2");
}Finally this should have been posted in New To Java.
