Subclass Vs Superclass

[Angela Jessi]

hi,
What is difference between subclass and superclass?
Thanks in advance,
Angela

Here is a very simple example...

class Grandfather {
 public GFMethod() {
   //something
  }
}
class Father extends Grandfather {
  public FMethod() {
   //something
  }
}

In this example, when you speak of "Father", "Grandfather" is the superclass. It's the class that Father inherits from. In this example, any objects of type Father have both GFMethod and FMethod.
When you speak of "Grandfather", "Father" is the subclass.
