Is a static method the same thing as a statically bound method?

• class A { static method Jump } main { A.Jump } would be a static method but from what i understand a statically bound method is simply one where the call to the method is hard coded in. For example, with polymorphism the methods are dynamically bound if the method call is looked up at run-time because we are dealing with to objects that inherit from the same object. So would the following be an example of a statically bound method: class A {} class A1 : A {} class A2 : A { method Jump } main { A2 a2 = new A2 a2.Jump() } now is that a statically bound method because we know from compile time that .Jump() is referring to the .Jump() in a2??? I need some help.

• Answer:

  Static methods IS bounded statically at compile time, because static methods are not polymorphic. class base { static method; } class derived : base { static method; } Base b = new Derived(); b.method // The method from Base will be called, not from Derived If your example is in C\C++ then the method IS statically bound (because you have to put virtual to enable dynamic binding). However, if your example is in JAVA, then the method is NOT statically bounded (you have to declare it as final to make it statically bounded).
