Some thoughts for the day!

[Hemal Mehta]

Just some thoughts for the day!!
a. An arithmentic operation always results in atleast a int being returned, even if the primitives are byte and short
b. A non abstract sub class always has to implement the abstract methods of the base class.
c. Base class X
Sub class Y
Allowed: Y myY=new X();
Not allowed: X myX=new Y();
d. Continue always takes the loop to the next iteration unlike break which totally comes out of the loop.
e. A base class may not be declared protected or private it is always public
f. Java keywords are always lowercase
Anyways more later...

It is the other way round.........
Base class X
Sub class Y
Not Allowed: Y myY=new X();
Allowed: X myX=new Y();
Chk it out.........

Hello Hemant,

Always remeber one thing ,
Parent class object can hold object of child class.
e.g.
public class ParentChildClass{
public static void main(String args[]){
ABC a = new XYZ();//line 1
XYZ x = new MNO();//line 2
a = new MNO();//line 3
x = new ABC();//line 4
}
}

class ABC{
int i;
}
class XYZ extends ABC{
int j;
}
class MNO extends XYZ{
int k;
}
Here ABC is parent class so it can hold object of child XYZ.
on line 4 it will throw following error:
"Incompatible type for =. Explicit cast needed to convert ABC to XYZ."
Since MNO is also sub class of ABC line 3 is correct.
