Are static methods inherited in Java?

Question

I was reading A Programmer’s Guide to Java™ SCJP Certification by Khalid Mughal.

In the Inheritance chapter, it explains that

Inherit

Answer 1

You can override static methods, but if you try to use polymorphism, then they work according to class scope(Contrary to what we normally expect).

public class A {

    public static void display(){
        System.out.println("in static method of A");
    }
}

public class B extends A {

    void show(){
        display();
    }

     public static void display(){
        System.out.println("in static method of B");
    }

}
public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        B obj =new B();
        obj.show();

        A a_obj=new B();
        a_obj.display();


    }


}

IN first case, o/p is the "in static method of B" # successful override In 2nd case, o/p is "in static method of A" # Static method - will not consider polymorphism
