OOPs Concept (Over-riding)

[Nishant Hadole]

The output of code below is "Sachin" and not "Nishant", just need explanation for the same...

class BaseClass{

protected String name="Sachin";

public void printName(){
System.out.println(name);
}
}

public class MyClass extends BaseClass{
private String name="Nishant";

public static void main(String[] args){

MyClass myClassObj = new MyClass();
myClassObj.printName();

}
}

Hint: Try overriding the method.

Also please use code tags when you display code in a POST

[Jesper de Jong]

Note that member variables cannot be overridden. Only methods can be overridden.

Hope this helps...

class BaseClass
{

protected String name="Sachin";

public void printName()
{
System.out.println(name);
}
}

public class MyClass extends BaseClass
{
private String name="Nishant";

public void printName()
{
System.out.println(name);
}

public static void main(String[] args){

BaseClass myClassObj = new MyClass();
myClassObj.printName();

}

}

Byee....
