I was reading the
Java
Language specification and I found this interesting code snippet about method overriding, hiding and overloading...
I did not read this in any book before:
What will be printed?
class Super { static String greeting() { return "Goodnight"; } String name() { return "Richard"; } } class Sub extends Super { static String greeting() { return "Hello"; } String name() { return "Dick"; } } class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Super s = new Sub(); System.out.println(s.greeting() + ", " + s.name()); } }
The output is:
Goodnight, Dick.
Does anyone knows why?
Message for you sir! I think it is a tiny ad:
