overriden method question? urgent!!!

[huanyu zhao]

class BaseClass{
private float x=1.0f;
private float getVar(){return x;}
}
class SubClass extends BaseClass{
private float x=2.0f;
//insert code
}
what are true to override getVar()?
A.float getVar(){
B.public float getVar(){
C.public double getVar(){
D.protected float getVar(){
E.public float getVar(float f){
SOMEBODY choose abd
but i think getvar()in baseclass is private
it can`t be seen from outside,so it can/need be overriden??
why?

[Valentin Crettaz]

private methods are not inherited, and thus, they can not be overridden. This question is erroneous.

[Deepali Pate]

But the private methods can be redeclared with the same name and return type and any modifier in subclass. This will not give any compile time or runtime error.
Am i right???

[Valentin Crettaz]

right, but the question excplicitely asks about overriding. If you set the overriding thing aside, then all options are correct, since there are no constraints on which method can be declared within SubClass.

Thanks for clarification yes the ? clearly says override so it is an error.
