static overrridden

Question

//What is the output of this code?
class Parent {
public static void show() {
System.out.println("parent class");
}
}
class Child extends Parent {
public static void show() {
System.out.println("child class");
}
}
public class Program{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Parent p = new Child();
p.show();
}
}

here is a Child class inherits from a Parent class and override a static method called show and it works🙃

why ?
isn't it an override?

Answer 1

aaa it will not cause a compile error but it will not happen also ..so it depends on the type of pointer

but final methods will cause error if I try to override it correct?

Answer 2

great thanks for explanation

Answer 3

they call it "Hidden/Hiding" instead overridden here
