Casting

[akila sekaran]

class A{}
class M extends A{ public void foo(){} }
class C extends M{public void foo(){} }
class D extends M public void foo(){} }

A myA = new A();
C myc = (C)myA;
myc.foo();

what will happen in this ?

Have you tried it yourself? What do you think will happen and why?

So, what are you casting into what? Please take a close look at your code (by the way, it also contains a compilation error, which I believe might be a typo during pasting the code).

Hint : All Managers are Employees - but can you cast an Employee to Manager?
