If a subclass defines a static method with the same signature as a static method in the superclass, the method in the subclass hides the one in the superclass. The distinction between hiding and overriding has important implications.

public class Animal
{
public static void hide()
{
System.out.format("The hide method in Animal.");
}
public void override()
{
System.out.format("The override method in Animal.");
}
}

public class Cat extends Animal
{
public static void hide()
{
System.out.format("The hide method in Cat.");
}
public void override()
{
System.out.format("The override method in Cat.");
}
}

But still I am not convinced with the exact difference in between hiding and overriding a method...???
