Method Hiding in java

If a child class defines a static method with the same signature as a static method of parent class , then it is known as Method Hiding.Now we can say that method in child class hides the method in Parent class.

  Redefining a static method in child class with same signature is called method Hiding.

  Redefining a instance method in child class with same signature(satisfying all overriding rules) is known as Method Overriding.


Example of Static Binding in java

Create two classes Animal and Dog where Animal is a parent of Dog. define static methods in both classes with same signature.


class Animal {
	public static void eat() {
		System.out.println("Animal is eating...");
	}
}

class Dog extends Animal {
	// hiding eat method of Animal class
	public static void eat() {
		System.out.println("Dog is eating...");
	}
}

public class Example {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Animal a = new Animal();
		Animal b = new Dog();
		a.eat();// call eat method
		b.eat();// call eat method
	}
}
Animal is eating...
Animal is eating...
