Casting Object

[Anonymous]

public class abc{
int i= 34;
void check(){
System.out.println("Inside the parent method");
}
}
class def extends abc{
int i = 44;
void check(){
System.out.println("Inside the child method");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
abc a = new abc();
def d = new def();
a = d;
System.out.println(a.i);
a.check();
}
}

"This code compiles fine but giving runtime error. Can anybody explain me.

Hi Shailender,
The code is perfect and does run on my m/c.
The mistake u seem to be doing is that instead of running the class def i.e. java def
u may be using java abc
which may be resulting in main :nosuchmethoderror in class abc.error at runtime.
so don't forget that u can run only that class which has got the main method correctly defined.
hope i guessed your problem right.
regards
