On page 107 of Sierra and Bates study guide there is written, that the comand in line 4 is "not legal because Horse didn't inherit eat()".

For me, everything is fine. When I am running the code, on the console is written:


That's the code:


I think, the authors expected an error messaage. Is there an error in the book or in my code?

Hi chandra!

I am using the book SCJP 6 by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates. Up to now (I am still on page 107) I am content with my choice.

I chose SCJP 6, because, the authors were lead developers for the exam.
