What is the output of the following Java code?
class A {
static void show() { System.out.println("A"); }
}
class B extends A {
static void show() { System.out.println("B"); }
}
// in main:
A obj = new B();
obj.show();- A
- B
- Compilation error
- Runtime error
Answer and explanation
Answer: A. A
Explanation: Static methods are not overridden; they are hidden. A static call is resolved at compile time from the reference type (A), so A.show() runs and prints "A".
