How can i Overload or Override static methods in java ?

Answer 1

static methods cannot be Overriden in Java. but you can overload them

Answer 2

class A {
static void method() {}
}
class B extends A{
@Override
static void method() {}
}

zemiak if this is what you mean it gives a compilation error

Answer 3

practically you can override static with other static method, but they call it 'hiding' then

Answer 4

Mind To Machine 💻🕆 try it without annotation

class A {
static void method() {
System.out.println("A");
}
static void method2() {
System.out.println("A");
}

}
class B extends A {
static void method() {
System.out.println("B");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
B.method(); //B
B.method2(); //A
}
}

Answer 5

zemiak static methods are inherited by subclass but cannot be overriding. If you define a static method in subclass with same signature as superclass its just a method belonging to subclass not an overriden one.
your code example shows inheritance not overriding.

also
A a = new B();
a.method(); // method of A class is executed

This is because static methods are inherited but not Polymorphic
