class Zoo
{
public String coolMethod()
{
return "wow baby";
}
}
public class Moo extends Zoo
{
  public void useMyCoolMethod()
  {
  System.out.println("Moo says..." +this.coolMethod());
  Zoo z = new Zoo();
  System.out.println("zoo says..." +z.coolMethod());
  }
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
  Moo m = new Moo();
  //m.coolMethod(); //1
  
  m.useMyCoolMethod();
  }
 
}
 
 

output:

Moo says...wow baby
zoo says...wow baby


when I try to invoke the coolMethod() using Moo instance(Moo m = new
Moo()) (i.e) m.coolMethod() in the line #1. it's not called bcoz of
run time i guess...but when i invoke inside useMyCoolMethod() of the
Moo class. it's got invoked.(which is also invoked by the same
instance Moo i guess..)

may I know what is wrong with my understanding..

Thanks in Advance

Please use real words (like "because" rather than "bcoz"). Thanks!

while m.coolMethod() is invoked, it is returning String. So you should assign it to variable, or print it directly.

Example: System.out.println(m.coolMethod());
