Guess The result

[dilan alex]

Hi All,

class Vehicle{
    protected Vehicle(){
	System.out.println("Vehecle Created....");
    }

    void accellerate(){
	System.out.println("Vehecle Accelerating....");	
    }

    void breaking(){
	System.out.println("Vehecle Breaking....");
    }
}

class Toyota extends Vehicle{
    protected Toyota(){
	System.out.println("Toyota Created....");
    }

    void breaking(){
	System.out.println("Toyota Breaking....");
    }
}

public class Prius extends Toyota{
    private Prius(){
	System.out.println("Prius Created....");
    }

    protected void breakingn(){
	super.accellerate();
	System.out.println("\nPrius Breaking....");
    }

    public static void main(String args[]){
	Prius prius= new Prius();
	prius.breaking();
	prius.breakingn();
    }
}

Regards,
Dil.

So what should we guess? Outputs?

Hi All,

Actually I just wanted to ask about this code snippet.

class Vehicle{
    protected Vehicle(){
	System.out.println("Vehecle Created....");
    }

    void accellerate(){
	System.out.println("Vehecle Accelerating....");	
    }

    static void breaking(){
	System.out.println("Vehecle Breaking....");
    }
}

class Toyota extends Vehicle{
    protected Toyota(){
	System.out.println("Toyota Created....");
    }

    public static void breaking(){
	System.out.println("Toyota Breaking....");
    }
}

public class Prius extends Toyota{
    private Prius(){
	System.out.println("Prius Created....");
    }

    protected void breaking2(){
	super.breaking();
	System.out.println("\nPrius Breaking....");
    }

    public static void main(String args[]){
	Prius prius = new Prius();
	Prius.breaking();
    }
}

Here Prius Class extends Toyota class and as we know static methods are not overridden. But in main method I have created Prius object and calling breaking method -
Its called Toyota class breaking method. how does this happen ??
Static methods are not overridden ? is it?

this is the output i get

Vehecle Created....
Toyota Created....
Prius Created....
Toyota Breaking....

Any help??

Thanks,
Dil.

Add this to the main method:

    Vehicle vehicle = prius;
    vehicle.breaking();

The output ist:

Vehecle Breaking....

The reference is of type Vehicle and the object is of type Prius. It takes the Vehicle.breaking() and not the Toyota.breaking() because both methods are static methods and they are not overridden.
