Private methods in Inheritance

Question

Here\'s an interesting code snippet:

public class Superclass {

    public static void main (String[] args){
        Superclass obj = new Subclass();
                


        

Answer 1

To understand this question you can relate private method to member variable of super class and sub class.

So we know member variable is not going to be overridden in sub class.

For example:

Class A{
 int i = 10;
}

Class B extends A{
  int i = 11;
}

Class C extends A {
   int i = 12;
}

A a1 = new B();
print(a1.i) // Will print 10

A a2 = new B();
print(a2.i) // Will print 10 

Similar way when there is no inheritance reference variable super class is going to be considered.
