override a static method on a subclass in swift

In Swift, you can override a static method on a subclass by using the class keyword to indicate that you're overriding a static method. Here's an example:

main.swift
class MyBaseClass {
    static func myStaticMethod() {
        print("Hello from MyBaseClass")
    }
}

class MySubclass: MyBaseClass {
    override class func myStaticMethod() {
        print("Hello from MySubclass")
    }
}

MySubclass.myStaticMethod() // prints "Hello from MySubclass"
MyBaseClass.myStaticMethod() // prints "Hello from MyBaseClass"
353 chars
15 lines

In this example, we have a base class called MyBaseClass with a static method called myStaticMethod. We then create a subclass called MySubclass and override myStaticMethod using the override class keywords.

When we call myStaticMethod on MySubclass, it prints "Hello from MySubclass". When we call myStaticMethod on MyBaseClass, it prints "Hello from MyBaseClass". This demonstrates that we have successfully overridden the static method on the subclass.
