method invocation

[Shiva Mohan]

    
class A {
public void test(B b) {
System.out.println("A - public void test(B b)");
}
}
 
class Photos  extends A {
 
public void test(A a)
{
System.out.println("B - public void test(A )");
}
 

public static void main(String[] args) {
 
Photos  b = new Photos ();
b.test(b);//----------line 1
}
}

in line1,Photos.test(Photos) gets accessed.actaully Photos class having two methods namely test(A a) and test(B b) .
i thought Photos.test(Photos) call only invoke test(B b).Photos.test(Photos) invoking test(A a) which makes no sense Since A is the superclass.But i got the result "B - public void test(A )
".How?Any help....

Hi Priya,

You really helped me to understand where i was going wrong.Actaully B class
had to change to Photos.After i changed ,everything is working properly as i thought.

Thanks for the help.
