why it is printing "class A method"

Question

class A{
static void method(){
System.out.println("Class A method");
}
}
class B extends A{
static void method(){
System.out.println("Class B method");
}
}
public class Mcq29{
public static void main(String args[]){
A a = new B();
a.method();
}
}

Answer 1

Because your method is overlapping each other, if you call class A in your main class you should get A only, take a look at the example
