Java: Calling a super method which calls an overridden method

Question

public class SuperClass
{
    public void method1()
    {
        System.out.println(\"superclass method1\");
        this.method2();
    }

    public void method2(         


        

Answer 1

To summarize, this points to current object and the method invocation in java is polymorphic by nature. So, method selection for execution, totally depends upon object pointed by this. Therefore, invoking method method2() from parent class invokes method2() of child class, as the this points to object of child class. The definition of this doesn't changes, irrespective of whichever class it's used.

PS. unlike methods, member variables of class are not polymorphic.
